A rough, ink-heavy sans with uneven contours and intentionally degraded edges. Strokes are thick with irregular bite marks, nicks, and occasional interior voids that mimic worn printing or dry-brush inking. Shapes stay generally geometric and legible, but widths vary and curves look slightly lumpy, giving the line a restless rhythm. Counters are often partially eroded, and terminals end abruptly or feather out, producing a consistently distressed texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display applications where texture is an asset: posters, event flyers, album or merch graphics, game titles, and dramatic headers. It also works well for packaging and labels that want a rugged, printed-by-hand feel, but is less appropriate for long-form text or small sizes where the erosion can reduce clarity.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, suggesting photocopied flyers, stamped ephemera, or aged signage. Its distressed texture reads as DIY and underground, with a slightly sinister, horror-adjacent edge depending on setting and contrast.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, high-impact voice with built-in wear, evoking distressed print and hand-inked lettering. The intention appears to be immediate character and atmosphere—grimy, analog, and imperfect—while keeping letterforms recognizable for short, prominent text.
Texture remains fairly consistent from glyph to glyph, so the distress feels designed rather than accidental, but individual letters still show enough variation to avoid a mechanical look. The numerals and punctuation inherit the same worn, blotty treatment, helping mixed copy maintain a unified, battered surface.
