A rough, inked display face with condensed proportions and irregular, hand-drawn outlines. Strokes look pressure-driven and slightly blotchy, with ragged edges, occasional spurs, and tapered terminals that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are compact and sometimes uneven, and curves feel chiseled rather than smooth. The overall rhythm is lively and inconsistent in a deliberate way, with small variations in width and stroke texture from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to short display text where the distressed texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, album/playlist artwork, event flyers, and title cards—especially for spooky, gritty, or alternative themes. It can also work for packaging accents or badges when used large enough to preserve the rough detail.
The texture and jittery contours give the font a raw, gritty attitude with a horror-leaning edge. It suggests DIY poster-making, haunted-house signage, and underground flyer culture—energetic, imperfect, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-painted or marker-brushed look that has been worn, smeared, or scraped, prioritizing character and impact over polish. Its condensed stance and bold silhouettes aim to deliver strong presence while the distressed edges add atmosphere and attitude.
Uppercase forms read as tall and assertive, while lowercase keeps a compact, handwritten feel with noticeably irregular bowls and stems. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment, with simplified shapes and roughened edges that match the letters.
