A heavy, compact display face with chunky silhouettes and aggressively roughened edges. Strokes look like thick brush or marker fills with torn, splintered terminals and occasional bite-like notches along the contours, creating a cutout, distressed rhythm. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified geometry; bowls and counters stay fairly open, while joins and shoulders feel blunted and uneven. Overall spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, hand-made texture rather than a strictly uniform system.
Well suited to headlines and short bursts of text in posters, cover art, event promos, and title screens where a gritty, themed voice is desired. It works particularly well for horror, Halloween, punk/metal aesthetics, and distressed branding accents, but is less appropriate for long passages or small UI text where the rough edges can clump.
The font projects a noisy, gritty energy that reads as mischievous and slightly menacing. Its ragged texture evokes scraped paint, stamped ink, or horror-comic titling, giving it a loud, rebellious attitude while remaining legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate themed impact through bold massing and a deliberately degraded edge treatment, mimicking worn printing or torn paper. Its simplified, upright forms prioritize quick recognition while the irregular perimeter supplies character and atmosphere.
Texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with especially pronounced fraying on verticals and outer curves. The numerals and rounded letters (like O/0) keep bold, stable interiors, helping readability even as the perimeter breaks up. The overall look is more like distressed fill shapes than fine-line scratchwork, so it benefits from generous size and contrast against clean backgrounds.
