A condensed, forward-slanted display face with a rough, hand-inked texture throughout. Strokes show uneven edges and occasional blobby terminals, suggesting dry brush or worn printing, while counters remain mostly open and legible. Letterforms are narrow and upright in construction but consistently italicized, with a slightly irregular baseline and varied stroke endings that create a restless rhythm. The overall silhouette is angular and spiky in places, with compressed proportions across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for short headlines and punchy display settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, album/EP artwork, game or film titles, and thematic packaging. It can also work for logos or wordmarks when a deliberately rough, analog feel is desired, but is less ideal for long-form text due to its strong texture and tight, narrow forms.
The font conveys a gritty, tense tone—like distressed signage, zine typography, or horror-title lettering. Its scratchy edges and narrow, urgent forms feel raw and confrontational, lending an underground, noir-adjacent mood with a hint of the occult.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect, inked lettering—combining condensed, italic energy with worn edges to create an expressive, distressed display voice. It prioritizes mood and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for impactful, thematic communication.
Spacing appears tight and compact, reinforcing the vertical, compressed feel; the texture is strong enough that smaller sizes may fill in, while larger sizes emphasize the torn-ink character. Numerals match the same distressed treatment and condensed footprint, maintaining consistency across the set.
