A heavy, slanted display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and a hand-inked silhouette. Strokes are compact and chunky, with rough bite marks along edges, occasional notches, and uneven terminals that mimic distressed printing or a dry-brush cutout. Counters tend to be small and sometimes partially choked, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, handmade rhythm. The overall texture reads as intentionally degraded, with lively, imperfect curves and inconsistent edge fidelity across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, titles, and large headlines where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It works well for music artwork, spooky or seasonal promotions, game/stream branding, and gritty editorial callouts; in long passages or small sizes, the rough edges and tight counters may reduce clarity.
The font projects a gritty, mischievous energy—somewhere between horror poster theatrics and DIY punk ephemera. Its ragged shapes and aggressive edges create tension and urgency, while the bouncy, italicized motion keeps it from feeling static or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable distressed look with energetic slant and bold massing. Its goal is to simulate worn printing or rough brush lettering while maintaining a cohesive, display-oriented alphabet that feels loud, raw, and attention-grabbing.
The distressed detailing is strong enough to become a primary visual feature, especially in rounded forms and on diagonals. Numerals and lowercase share the same roughened treatment, giving the set a consistent, stamp-like presence while retaining a handmade unpredictability.
