A chunky, hand-drawn print with heavily irregular outlines and torn, blot-like edges. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, but vary through pressure-like bulges, nicks, and occasional gaps that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are uneven and sometimes tight, and overall widths fluctuate noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, stamped/painted rhythm. The baseline and verticals feel generally upright, while the texture introduces jitter and organic wobble across the set.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, event flyers, game or film titles, album covers, and themed packaging where a distressed handmade look is desirable. It can work for short callouts or labels, but extended paragraphs will feel noisy; generous size and spacing help maintain clarity.
The font projects a gritty, eerie energy—part hand-painted sign, part distressed stamp. Its ragged contours and inky blobs suggest urgency and rough craftsmanship, lending a horror, Halloween, or underground zine attitude even in short phrases.
The design appears intended to mimic rough brush or marker lettering with deliberate distressing, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over smooth regularity. Its variable widths and jagged edges aim to create an expressive, gritty voice that feels hand-made and slightly chaotic.
At text sizes the rough perimeter becomes the dominant feature, so the face reads best when the texture is allowed to show. The distressed forms can visually fill in at smaller sizes or in dense settings, while larger sizes preserve the character of the edges and irregular counters.
