A rough, brush-drawn print with heavy strokes and visibly jagged, frayed edges. Letterforms are mostly upright and compact, with uneven stroke contours that suggest dry-brush ink and occasional ink pools at terminals. Counters are somewhat irregular and sometimes pinched, contributing to a gritty texture. The overall rhythm is lively and inconsistent in a deliberate way, with slightly varying widths and a handmade baseline feel that reads best at larger sizes.
Well-suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, and short callouts where texture and attitude are the point. It works especially well for horror or Halloween themes, punk/garage music materials, gritty editorial openers, and packaging or branding that benefits from a distressed handmade imprint. For long passages or small UI sizes, the rough edges and tight shapes may reduce clarity.
The font conveys a raw, gritty energy with a dark, slightly menacing tone. Its distressed brush texture and uneven edges create a handmade, rebellious feel that can lean into horror, punk, or underground aesthetics.
The design appears intended to mimic quickly painted or brushed lettering with a distressed, dry-ink finish—prioritizing atmosphere and tactile character over smooth consistency. It aims for strong silhouettes with intentional imperfections to deliver an expressive, high-impact display voice.
Uppercase forms are blocky and emphatic, while lowercase keeps a simple, print-like construction with the same torn-edge texture. Numerals are bold and graphic, matching the letterforms’ rough perimeter and maintaining strong silhouette contrast against light backgrounds.
