A heavy, compact display face with jagged, irregular contours and chunky, ink-like masses. Strokes feel carved and torn at the edges, with uneven terminals, occasional notches, and rough interior counters that create a printed-worn look. Letterforms are mostly blocky with simplified geometry, but they maintain a lively, inconsistent perimeter that adds texture and motion. Spacing and widths fluctuate slightly across glyphs, reinforcing an organic, distressed rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short display settings where texture can be appreciated—posters, title cards, packaging accents, and editorial headlines. It works especially well for music, nightlife, seasonal or spooky themes, and any branding that benefits from a rough, handmade print aesthetic. Use with generous size and breathing room to preserve legibility and keep the distressed edges from clumping.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, evoking DIY flyers, underground posters, and worn stencil/print textures. Its rough silhouette reads as intense and dramatic, with a slightly macabre or chaotic edge suited to bold, attention-grabbing messaging.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through weight and texture, mimicking rough printing, torn paper edges, or distressed signage. The goal is a bold display voice with intentional imperfection, trading crisp precision for attitude and atmosphere.
At larger sizes the distressed details become a key feature, while at smaller sizes the ragged edges can visually fill in and reduce clarity. The font’s texture is consistent across letters and numerals, producing a cohesive, deliberately degraded surface rather than random noise.
