A tall, condensed display face with a hand-drawn print construction and uneven, ragged contours. Strokes are mostly monolinear, with slight swelling and thinning that reads as ink drag rather than formal contrast. Many terminals taper into sharp points or small nicks, and curves show irregular, bite-like notches that create a distressed silhouette. Overall rhythm is vertical and narrow, with compact counters and a slightly jittery baseline feel despite generally upright forms.
Best suited to short headlines, titles, and branding where the distressed texture can be read clearly—posters, cover art, and promotional graphics. It can also work for labels or signage-style compositions, but the rough edges and narrow forms make it less ideal for long passages or very small sizes.
The texture and spiked terminals give the font a tense, eerie energy—more theatrical than friendly. It evokes horror and mystery cues, like scraped ink, worn signage, or distressed title cards, while still staying legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact headline voice with an intentionally weathered, hand-rendered finish. Its narrow proportions help fit long words into tight spaces while the distressed details supply drama and atmosphere.
Caps are especially tall and columnar, and several letters show intentionally rough inner edges that add visual noise. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment and remain simple and readable, reinforcing a consistent, poster-oriented character.
