A rough, brush-driven display face with sharply tapered terminals and irregular, ink-heavy edges. Strokes show pronounced pressure variation and frequent breaks, creating rugged contours, occasional spikes, and small drips or splatters in tight counters. Letterforms lean on simple, upright skeletons with uneven bowls and crossbars, producing a lively rhythm and a deliberately imperfect, printed-by-hand texture across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/EP artwork, game titles, spooky promotions, and gritty branding accents. It can work for headlines and pull quotes where texture is a feature, while longer body copy will benefit from generous size and spacing to keep the distressed details from filling in.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a handmade intensity that reads as bold and slightly ominous. Its distressed marks suggest urgency and attitude, evoking street-level graphics, punk/metal ephemera, and horror or thriller titling without becoming illegible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handmade look that feels printed or painted in imperfect conditions. Its distressed edges and high-contrast brush modulation aim to add atmosphere and immediacy, prioritizing character and texture over typographic neutrality.
Texture is not uniform: some glyphs carry heavier blobs and rougher shoulders while others stay more open, which increases the organic feel but can introduce patchiness in long passages. The numerals and round letters (O, Q, 8, 0) show especially uneven curves and counter shapes, reinforcing the inked, brushy character.
