A condensed, brush-driven display face with jagged, distressed outlines and frequent tapering terminals that suggest a dry brush or worn ink. Strokes show uneven pressure with abrupt thins and heavy, inky swells, producing sharp interior notches and rough outer edges. Letterforms are mostly upright and compact, with tight counters and irregular curves that keep the texture active across words. The lowercase is small relative to the capitals, and the numerals match the same scratchy, hand-cut rhythm rather than geometric uniformity.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, album/mixtape covers, game or film titles, and event flyers where texture and attitude are part of the message. It also works well for branding marks and packaging accents that aim for a rough, handmade aesthetic, especially at display sizes where the distressed detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is gritty and aggressive, combining a handmade feel with a slightly ominous edge. Its torn, scratch-mark texture reads as rebellious and theatrical, suitable for designs that want urgency, danger, or a DIY attitude rather than polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, distressed brush look that prioritizes impact and texture over neutrality. Its condensed proportions and scratchy edges are geared toward creating loud, characterful headlines with a gritty, themed atmosphere.
In text, the dense black mass and ragged edges create strong silhouette-driven word shapes, while the distressed detail becomes more prominent as size increases. The irregular stroke endings and occasional spurs give lines of type a restless, kinetic texture that feels intentionally imperfect.
