A distressed display face with heavily eroded outlines and jagged, torn-looking edges that read like worn ink or rough cut paper. Strokes are thick and unevenly notched, creating a vibrating silhouette around otherwise simple, blocky letter structures. Counters are irregular but generally open, with a slightly condensed feel in places and inconsistent sidebearings that add to the handmade, off-kilter rhythm. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a unified, weathered stamp-like presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, covers, title cards, and promotional graphics where the distressed perimeter can be appreciated. It can also work for thematic UI elements or headings in games and events that lean into gritty, spooky, or punk aesthetics, but it’s less appropriate for long passages of small text.
The overall tone is gritty and unsettled—playful in its irregularity, but with a dark, horror-tinged edge. It evokes DIY poster culture, haunted ephemera, and distressed signage, projecting energy and intentional roughness rather than polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a deliberately rough, irregular display voice—prioritizing texture and attitude over refinement—while keeping underlying letter shapes familiar enough for quick recognition in headlines.
At text sizes the aggressive edge texture becomes the dominant feature, so letterforms read best when given enough size and contrast to preserve interior shapes. The numerals match the same torn perimeter treatment, supporting cohesive headline and titling use.
