A rough, inked display face with heavily irregular contours and occasional interior voids that feel eaten away or blotted. Strokes are mostly monoline in impression but vary subtly due to frayed edges, creating a jittery rhythm and uneven terminals. The letterforms are simplified and sturdy, with rounded bowls and notched corners; counters tend to be small and inconsistent, and joins often look smeared or broken, as if printed from a distressed stencil or worn stamp.
Best suited to display sizes where the ragged edges and blotted texture can be appreciated—posters, album covers, packaging accents, game titles, and themed headers. It works particularly well for horror, dark fantasy, grunge branding, or any design needing a deliberately imperfect, weathered voice; avoid long body copy where the texture may reduce readability.
The overall tone is dark and gritty, suggesting underground flyers, horror atmospheres, and ritual or punk-adjacent aesthetics. Its uneven texture reads as handmade and unruly, adding tension and urgency to short messages and titles.
The design appears intended to mimic degraded ink or worn printing, pairing simple letter skeletons with aggressive edge erosion to create instant atmosphere. It prioritizes texture and mood over precision, delivering a bold, handcrafted impression that feels rough, old, and ominous.
Uppercase forms feel bold and emblematic, while lowercase is narrower and more scribble-like, enhancing the handmade contrast between cases. Numerals and punctuation carry the same pitted texture, helping a layout maintain a consistent distressed voice across headings and short lines.
