A condensed, hand-drawn print style with heavy, inked strokes and strongly irregular edges. Letterforms show a carved/brushy texture, with wobbly stems, uneven terminals, and frequent small nicks that create a distressed silhouette. Proportions are compact and vertical, with tight internal counters and a somewhat inconsistent baseline feel that reinforces the handmade rhythm. Overall spacing reads slightly uneven, and the figures echo the same rough, chipped texture for a cohesive set.
Best suited for display applications where texture and mood are the priority, such as horror or Halloween titling, gig posters, album/merch graphics, and bold headers. It can work for short bursts of copy or pull quotes, but longer text will be more legible with generous size and line spacing.
The font projects a gritty, eerie energy—more found-object and hand-inked than polished. Its rough edges and jittery rhythm suggest horror, punk, and underground zine aesthetics, with an intentionally worn, distressed attitude.
The design appears intended to mimic rough hand-rendered lettering with a distressed, ink-worn finish, prioritizing atmosphere and immediacy over precision. Its condensed stance and strong texture help it grab attention quickly in headline contexts.
The texture is prominent enough that very small sizes may lose detail in counters and joints, while larger sizes emphasize the torn-ink character. The set maintains consistent visual noise across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, keeping the distressed look uniform in running text.
