A rough, inked display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and occasional interior speckling that reads like worn printing or a dry brush/marker. Strokes show noticeable edge chatter and small notches, while counters remain largely open, keeping the letterforms recognizable. Proportions are compact with slightly inconsistent widths, and the rhythm feels intentionally uneven, as if stamped or quickly painted. Terminals are blunt and frayed rather than cleanly cut, giving both uppercase and lowercase a textured, distressed silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, packaging accents, and promotional graphics where texture is a feature. It can work for themed headings and pull quotes, but the distressed detail may become busy at smaller sizes or in long passages.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, with a slightly ominous, underground energy. The distressed texture adds tension and urgency, suggesting horror, punk, or DIY zine aesthetics rather than polished corporate communication.
This font appears designed to deliver an immediate distressed, printed-by-hand impression—combining readable classic letter skeletons with aggressively weathered edges to evoke age, grit, and atmosphere.
In continuous text, the coarse edges create a lively sparkle and a darker color on the line, especially where bowls and joins accumulate texture. The numerals carry the same worn, blotched treatment, helping the set feel cohesive for posters and short headlines.
