A heavy, hand-drawn display face with jagged, torn-looking contours and a dry-brush texture that leaves small nicks and uneven edges. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline in feel, but with abrupt tapering and ragged terminals that create sharp silhouettes. Counters are compact and sometimes partially closed, and the overall rhythm is deliberately uneven, with noticeable shape variation from letter to letter while maintaining consistent mass and color on the page.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, event flyers, album/track artwork, merch graphics, and horror or thriller titling. It can also work for punchy in-game headings or UI labels where a distressed, hand-inked tone is desired, especially when set with generous tracking and strong contrast against clean backgrounds.
The font projects an aggressive, gritty energy—evoking DIY posters, horror title cards, and punk or skate-era graphics. Its rough ink texture and irregular outlines add urgency and menace, while the rounded, cartoonish underlying forms keep it readable and playful enough for expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, forceful hand lettering made with a worn marker or brush, prioritizing impact and texture over refinement. Its goal is to deliver a bold, distressed voice that feels immediate and human, with intentionally imperfect edges to amplify attitude and atmosphere.
Uppercase forms read as the strongest and most stable, while lowercase letters lean more informal and spotty in construction, which enhances the handmade feel. Numerals share the same distressed edge treatment, making them visually cohesive in loud, high-impact settings but potentially busy at small sizes or in long text.
