A jagged, ink-worn display face with irregular contours, nicks, and torn-looking terminals throughout. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin behavior and a slightly chiseled, calligraphic construction, while counters appear uneven and occasionally pinched. Capitals are assertive and somewhat angular, with occasional spur-like flicks; lowercase is compact and bouncy, with varied stroke endings that create a restless rhythm. Numerals follow the same distressed logic, with inconsistent inner shapes and roughened edges that read as intentionally weathered.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, title cards, packaging callouts, and entertainment branding where texture is desirable. It can work for headings or pull quotes, but the rough contours and irregular interiors make it less appropriate for small-size body text.
The overall tone feels raw and theatrical, like lettering pulled from aged posters or grim storybook titling. Its rough texture and high drama suggest mystery, menace, and rustic craft rather than polish or neutrality.
Designed to deliver a distressed, ink-scuffed impression with a dramatic, slightly medieval/calligraphic flavor, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over smooth, uniform outlines.
Letterforms keep a consistent distressed texture across the set, but individual glyphs vary in silhouette enough to enhance the handmade effect. The font’s texture is strong at larger sizes, where the ragged edges and interior breaks become a key part of the personality.
