A rough, hand-rendered alphabet with uneven stroke edges and a visibly distressed texture throughout the counters and stems. Forms are mostly upright with a slightly irregular baseline and varied stroke endings that resemble dry-brush or worn ink impressions. Letter widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, producing a lively rhythm, while the overall construction stays readable with simple, blocky silhouettes and occasional angular joins. Numerals and punctuation-like marks follow the same imperfect, inked-in look, maintaining a consistent distressed finish across the set.
Works well for display settings where texture is an asset—posters, event flyers, album covers, game titles, and themed packaging. It can also suit short headlines or pull quotes in editorial layouts that want a distressed, handmade accent; for longer copy, larger sizes and generous leading help preserve clarity.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY attitude—like hurried signage, zine typography, or a horror-tinged hand lettered title. Its rough edges and blotchy interiors add tension and energy, giving text a raw, weathered presence that feels human and a bit unruly.
The design intent appears to be a legible display face that bakes in distress and handmade irregularity, mimicking worn ink or rough brush lettering. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over polish, aiming to deliver a bold, textured voice quickly and consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Texture is a defining feature: many strokes show notches, speckling, and ragged contours that create a printed-worn effect even at larger sizes. Spacing appears comfortable for display use, but the busy edges can visually darken paragraphs, making it best when given room and strong contrast.
