A jagged, brush-driven display face with sharply irregular contours and torn-looking terminals. Strokes swing between thick wedges and thin, scratchy hairlines, creating an inky, high-contrast texture with frequent notches and interior bite-marks. The forms are mostly upright with uneven stroke edges and occasional swashes or flicks, giving letters a rough, carved-or-painted silhouette. Spacing reads slightly restless due to varied sidebearings and the intentionally inconsistent edge treatment, while counters remain generally open enough for short text.
Best suited for headlines, poster titles, cover art, and branding moments where a rough, aggressive texture is an asset. It can work for short bursts of text in horror, dark fantasy, or grunge-themed projects, and for packaging or labels that want a hand-inked, distressed presence. For readability, it performs strongest at medium to large sizes where the ragged details remain intentional rather than noisy.
The font projects a gritty, ominous energy—more handmade and feral than polished. Its spiky brush texture and distressed silhouettes suggest tension, danger, and theatrical intensity, lending a horror-leaning, punk-adjacent tone.
Designed to mimic fast, forceful brush lettering that has been distressed by wear, scratch, or rough reproduction. The goal appears to be strong atmosphere and texture—prioritizing characterful silhouettes and edge breakup over smooth refinement.
Uppercase shapes are bold and emblematic with dramatic cuts and gouges, while lowercase keeps the same distressed language but with simpler, more text-like proportions. Numerals carry the same torn-edge treatment, with especially scratchy curves on round forms. The overall black mass can look heavy in dense settings, where the edge noise becomes part of the intended texture.
