The letterforms are narrow and upright with a compact rhythm and visibly distressed edges throughout. Strokes appear rough and uneven, with ragged terminals, small nicks, and jittery contours that mimic worn ink or scraped paint. Counters are often pinched or irregular, and the overall silhouette stays legible while maintaining a consistent, abrasive texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
It works best for display settings where texture is part of the message, such as horror or thriller titles, Halloween and haunted-event graphics, band posters, album art, and gritty apparel prints. It can also support game UI headings, zines, and packaging that benefits from a worn, underground tone. For longer passages, it will be most effective in short bursts—headlines, pull quotes, and labels—where the distressed detail can remain clear.
This typeface projects a gritty, uneasy energy, with a handmade roughness that feels weathered and slightly ominous. Its irregular texture and broken contours suggest suspense, danger, and a DIY punk sensibility, making it well suited to dramatic or atmospheric messaging.
The design intent appears to be creating a readable display face that carries strong surface texture and imperfect, torn-looking outlines. The controlled narrow proportions and steady upright stance keep text coherent, while the persistent distressing adds atmosphere and attitude.
The sample text shows consistent distressing across sizes, with especially jagged diagonals and terminals that create a scratchy edge profile. Numerals follow the same rough treatment and maintain strong presence, suitable for dates and short numeric callouts.
