A heavy, hand-drawn print style with chunky, irregular strokes and strongly textured edges. The letterforms are mostly upright with uneven contours that mimic dry brush or marker bleed, producing a blotchy, distressed silhouette. Counters are small and sometimes partially closed, and terminals tend to end abruptly with jagged, torn-looking edges. Rhythm and spacing are intentionally inconsistent, giving lines of text a lively, roughened texture rather than a smooth typographic flow.
Best suited for display settings where texture and attitude are desirable, such as horror or Halloween headlines, event posters, game titles, podcast/stream branding, album art, and packaging accents. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, but is less suited to long-form body text where the heavy texture may reduce readability.
The font carries a gritty, ominous tone—evoking horror posters, spooky ephemera, and DIY punk graphics. Its rough ink texture and uneven outlines feel raw and analog, suggesting urgency and a slightly chaotic energy.
Designed to deliver a bold, handmade impact with a deliberately distressed, ink-bleed look. The goal appears to be strong visual character and atmosphere over typographic neutrality, providing an instantly recognizable rough-print voice for attention-grabbing display use.
The distressed perimeter treatment is a dominant feature and remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating strong color on the page. At smaller sizes the interior details and tight counters may visually fill in, while larger sizes emphasize the rugged edge texture.
