A rough, brush-driven display face with heavy strokes and sharply frayed edges. Letterforms are upright with mostly condensed proportions, but widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, hand-rendered rhythm. Terminals often taper into spikes or torn-looking ends, and counters are irregular and occasionally pinched, producing strong internal contrast against the dense black strokes. Overall spacing feels intentionally uneven, with a lively, slightly chaotic texture in words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture is a feature: horror or thriller titles, game or streaming thumbnails, gig posters, album covers, and gritty branding accents. It can work for pull quotes or headers, but the distressed detailing will reduce clarity at small sizes or in dense paragraphs.
The font projects an intense, gritty tone—like wet ink dragged quickly across paper or lettering cut from distressed paint. Its jagged contours and aggressive terminals evoke suspense, danger, and underground DIY energy, lending a confrontational, cinematic mood.
Likely designed to deliver a visceral, distressed brush-lettering look that feels immediate and handmade, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over neutrality. The irregular edges, spiky terminals, and variable letter widths suggest an intention to mimic rough ink or paint marks for dramatic display typography.
Rounded forms (like O/0) read as thick, ink-blotted shapes with uneven interior openings, while diagonals and joins show abrupt direction changes typical of fast brushwork. The baseline alignment is generally stable, but edge noise and varied stroke taper create a constant sense of motion and abrasion.
