A heavy, block-constructed sans with compact counters and mostly squared-off interior spaces. Strokes are consistently thick but the outlines are intentionally irregular, with jagged notches and chipped edges that create a torn, cutout silhouette. Corners tend to be blunt or abruptly angled rather than smoothly rounded, and many terminals look bitten or fractured. Proportions skew broad with sturdy, rectangular letter bodies; the set maintains a fairly even vertical stance while allowing noticeable per-glyph width variation and a hand-distressed rhythm.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, flyers, headlines, packaging accents, and title cards where a gritty, aggressive texture is desirable. It can work well for entertainment contexts like horror-themed graphics, game titles, and music/club promotions, but the rough perimeter and dense shapes make it less appropriate for small-size body copy.
The texture reads loud and confrontational, with a gritty, DIY energy that suggests horror, punk, and zine aesthetics. Its rough contouring adds a playful menace—more comic-book scream than refined brutality—making the tone feel dramatic, rebellious, and intentionally unpolished.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through mass and texture: bold, blocky letterforms combined with deliberate edge damage to simulate torn paper, woodcut abrasion, or distressed print. The goal is clear visual attitude and instant genre signaling rather than neutrality or long-form readability.
In continuous text the distressed edges create a busy color and vibrating texture, while the simplified, chunky forms keep word shapes recognizable. Numerals and capitals match the same chipped, stencil-like attitude, and the overall effect is strongest when set with ample spacing and at display sizes where the jagged detailing can be seen clearly.
