A rough, hand-hewn italic with jagged, uneven contours that feel carved or ink-bleed distressed rather than cleanly drawn. Strokes stay relatively monolinear, but the outline wobble and chipped edges create constant micro-variation along stems, bowls, and diagonals. Proportions are compact with a generally narrow set, while widths fluctuate by glyph, reinforcing an improvised, irregular rhythm. The forms remain readable, but the texture and slanted stance dominate the silhouette in both caps and lowercase.
Works best for short display settings where texture and personality are the point—posters, punchy headlines, cover art, event graphics, and title cards. The distressed italic voice also suits themed applications like spooky, quirky, or DIY aesthetics in games, music artwork, and social graphics. Use sparingly for longer text, where the rough outline can become visually busy.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, like a handmade headline pulled from a zine or a spooky craft sign. Its scratchy texture and restless edges give it a slightly eerie, unruly energy while still feeling playful and human. It reads as intentionally imperfect and attention-seeking rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to deliver a one-off, handmade display voice that feels deliberately rough and irregular while staying legible. The consistent distressed edge treatment suggests an intention to mimic torn paper, carved lettering, or ink-worn printing, adding character and narrative texture to headings.
Caps and lowercase share the same distressed treatment, keeping the family feel consistent across the character set. Numerals echo the same chiseled, torn-edge look, making them suitable for display use where the texture is meant to be noticed. At smaller sizes, the irregular edges may visually fill in or shimmer, so it benefits from generous sizing and spacing.
