A heavy, brush-like display face with irregular contours and distressed interiors. Strokes look wet-inked and uneven, with ragged terminals, small voids, and occasional blobbed joins that create a worn, stamped-at-hand feel. Letterforms are largely straightforward and readable, but their edges wobble and chip, giving each glyph a slightly different silhouette and rhythm. Counters are often partially filled or scuffed, and the overall texture produces a lively, mottled color on the line.
Best suited for large-scale display work where texture is a feature: posters, flyers, event graphics, album/mixtape covers, merchandise, and punchy social graphics. It also fits seasonal or genre-driven design such as Halloween promotions and horror-themed titles, as well as any project aiming for a lo-fi, hand-printed look.
The font conveys a gritty, rebellious tone with a tactile, analog messiness—somewhere between DIY poster paint, rough screenprint, and distressed marker lettering. It feels loud and imperfect in a deliberate way, leaning toward edgy, spooky, and underground aesthetics.
The design appears intended to mimic rough, hand-applied ink with intentional wear—prioritizing character and texture over precision. Its consistent distress pattern and sturdy underlying shapes suggest a display font made to deliver impact while still reading quickly in short phrases.
Capitals are broad and blocky with softened, eroded edges; lowercase maintains a compact, punchy presence with noticeably rough bowls and shoulders. Numerals share the same distressed treatment and remain legible at display sizes, though the texture can visually thicken in tighter settings.
