A heavy, hand-drawn display face with condensed proportions and a jagged, distressed silhouette. Strokes are thick and irregular, with torn-looking edges, occasional interior voids, and sporadic ink breaks that create a worn, printed texture. Terminals often taper into slight points or ragged spur-like ends, and some forms show subtle drip-like extensions. The rhythm is lively and uneven, with variable character widths and a slightly wobbly baseline feel that reinforces the handmade, stamped impression.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, album covers, merch graphics, and punchy headlines that benefit from a rough, distressed voice. It works well for horror, punk, skate, and gritty editorial treatments, especially when set large with ample tracking and contrast against clean backgrounds.
The font projects a gritty, confrontational tone with strong horror and punk undertones. Its distressed ink texture and sharp, eroded contours suggest decay, urgency, and a DIY attitude, making it feel noisy, loud, and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to mimic bold ink lettering that has been weathered, overprinted, or dragged across a rough surface. Its purpose is to deliver instant impact and attitude, prioritizing texture and mood over neutral readability in body text.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent distressed treatment, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive and emphatic. Counters can be partially closed by texture in places, so legibility is best at larger sizes where the rough detailing reads as character rather than noise.
