A heavy, chunky display face with compact proportions and uneven, hand-cut contours. Strokes are broadly uniform but break into jagged, brushlike edges and occasional notches, creating a torn-paper/rough-ink silhouette. Curves are blobby and slightly squarish, counters are generous for the weight, and terminals often end in chisel-like points. The rhythm is lively and inconsistent in a controlled way, with small variations in stroke bulges and edge texture that keep repeated forms from feeling mechanical.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display settings like posters, headlines, album or book covers, event promotions, and title treatments for games or themed content. It works especially well when you want a bold wordmark with a gritty texture, and can be paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The distressed texture and bold massing give the font a loud, scrappy personality—part horror-comic, part DIY punk flyer. It reads as energetic and slightly chaotic, with a mischievous, rebellious tone rather than refined elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, high-impact letterform with built-in distress—capturing the feel of rough brush strokes, worn printing, or torn edges while keeping the underlying shapes simple enough to read quickly.
The rough edge treatment stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping it feel cohesive despite the irregular outlines. The bold fill and open counters support legibility at display sizes, while the scratchy perimeter can start to close up or shimmer at very small sizes or on low-resolution output.
