A distressed, heavy display face with irregular, torn edges and blobby ink-like masses that create internal voids and rough counters. Strokes are chunky and uneven, with frequent notches, spikes, and gouged-away areas that break outlines and soften corners into ragged silhouettes. Letterforms keep a broadly upright stance but vary in width and balance, producing a jittery rhythm in text while maintaining recognizable skeletons. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, helping blocks of text stay dense and dark despite the surface damage.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/mixtape art, horror or thriller titles, game splash screens, and attention-grabbing flyers. It works well when used large, with ample spacing, where the distressed edges can read as intentional texture rather than noise.
The overall tone feels unruly and mischievous, with a gritty, horror-leaning energy reminiscent of splatter, torn paper, or corrupted ink. Its uneven texture reads as loud and confrontational, turning simple words into a charged, noisy graphic element.
The design appears intended to deliver an aggressively textured, handmade look—prioritizing attitude and surface character over smooth typography. Its irregular outlines and inconsistent rhythm suggest a deliberate attempt to feel organic, chaotic, and visually noisy for expressive display applications.
In the sample text, the heavy fill and broken contours create strong texture but reduce small-size clarity, especially where counters pinch closed (notably in letters like a, e, o, and s). Numerals follow the same distressed logic, matching the alphabet’s rough silhouette for cohesive headline use.
