A heavy, chunky display face with compact proportions and pronounced, uneven silhouettes. Letterforms are built from thick strokes with sharp, broken terminals and frequent notches, as if cut from paper or printed on rough stock. Interiors show distressed bite-outs and speckled voids that vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, imperfect texture. Curves are generally rounded but interrupted by jagged edges, and counters tend to be small and irregular, emphasizing mass and impact.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, packaging accents, and short phrases where texture is a feature rather than a distraction. It fits music and nightlife promo, horror or Halloween-themed graphics, punk/garage aesthetics, and game or comic-style title treatments. Use it as a display font rather than for long-form reading.
The overall tone is gritty and rebellious, with a hand-made, rough-printed energy. Its torn edges and worn counters suggest loud, underground attitude—part punk flyer, part spooky prop typography—while still keeping a readable, cartoonish bounce.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with an intentionally damaged, roughened finish. The goal appears to be a bold, attention-grabbing headline face that communicates grit and attitude through irregular edges and distressed counters while maintaining straightforward upright letter structure.
The distressing is applied both to outer contours and internal shapes, producing strong texture even at larger sizes. Because the counters can clog and the edge noise is prominent, the face reads best when given enough size and breathing room; tight tracking or small settings can amplify the roughness into dense blobs.
