A heavy, brush-like display face with ragged contours, small ink bleeds, and uneven terminals that mimic fast marker or dry-brush lettering. Strokes are broadly monolinear but wobble subtly, creating an irregular rhythm and slightly variable letter widths. Counters are generally open and rounded, with occasional nicks and drips at joins and ends; the overall silhouette stays clear even with the distressed texture. Uppercase forms feel compact and chunky, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable construction with a hand-rendered wobble.
Best used at display sizes where the frayed edges and ink texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and short titling for entertainment or themed events. It can also work for bold pull quotes or labels when you want an intentionally rough, handcrafted tone, but the distressed detail may soften at very small sizes.
The texture and irregular edge behavior give it a gritty, handmade attitude—somewhere between DIY punk signage and spooky, inky title lettering. It reads energetic and slightly unruly, with a playful menace that suits horror-lite and alternative aesthetics without becoming illegible.
The design appears intended to replicate expressive, hand-painted lettering with deliberate wear and ink artifacts, delivering strong impact and character for thematic display typography. It prioritizes texture and attitude over mechanical consistency, while keeping core letter shapes familiar for quick recognition.
The distressing appears integrated into the letterforms rather than applied uniformly, so each glyph carries unique specks, frays, and tapering strokes. Numerals match the same brushy weight and irregularity, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
