A heavy, ink-saturated display face with highly irregular contours and occasional interior nicks that mimic rough stamping or wet brush lettering. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline in feel, with subtle thick–thin shifts created by wobbling outlines rather than calligraphic logic. Curves and counters are lumpy and uneven, terminals are blunt or slightly pointed, and spacing/advance widths feel intentionally inconsistent, giving lines of text a bouncy, hand-made rhythm. Figures and capitals maintain bold silhouettes for impact, while lowercase forms stay compact and simplified for texture over precision.
Best suited to attention-grabbing headlines on posters, gig and event flyers, album/mixtape art, and title cards. It also fits themed applications like horror-comedy branding, spooky seasonal promos, and game or stream graphics where a rough, hand-inked texture adds character.
The font projects a gritty, mischievous tone—part punk flyer, part haunted handbill. Its rough edges and blot-like shapes add urgency and a slightly ominous humor, making it feel loud, informal, and deliberately imperfect.
Likely designed to deliver immediate impact with a distressed, hand-made texture—capturing the feel of rough print, brushy ink, or cutout lettering while keeping shapes bold enough for display use. The uneven rhythm and rugged edges appear intentional, aiming for attitude and atmosphere rather than typographic neutrality.
Readability drops at smaller sizes due to crowded counters and rugged edges, but the strong silhouettes hold up well for short bursts of text. The irregular texture is consistent across letters and numerals, so it works best when you want the distress to be a primary visual element rather than a subtle finish.
