A heavy, chunky display face with jagged, eroded contours and irregular stroke edges throughout. Letterforms feel carved or torn rather than drawn cleanly, with bumpy curves, nicked terminals, and uneven counters that create a distressed silhouette. Shapes are generally simple and readable, but their outlines wobble and chip, producing lively texture and a slightly inconsistent rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Works best for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, album/mixtape artwork, event flyers, and title cards where the distressed texture can be part of the concept. It suits spooky seasonal promotions and gritty entertainment branding, and can add character to packaging or social graphics when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and unruly, with a slightly ominous, haunted energy. Its rough texture suggests DIY ephemera—flyers, posters, or hand-cut lettering—bringing a rebellious, offbeat personality to headlines. The font reads as playful-wicked rather than polished, leaning into visual noise and attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally rough, irregular display look that feels handmade and weathered. By prioritizing texture and imperfect edges over clean geometry, it aims to inject attitude and atmosphere into headlines and branding moments.
In text settings, the dense black mass and rough perimeter create strong presence but also add visual grain, especially where letters sit close together. The distressed edges and variable interior openings can make longer passages feel busy, so the design is best treated as a texture-forward display voice rather than a neutral workhorse.
