A heavy, upright display face with chunky silhouettes and aggressively irregular contours. Strokes are broken and notched, with torn-looking edges, occasional interior chips, and uneven terminals that mimic worn stencil/printing artifacts. Counters are relatively small and inconsistent, and the texture varies from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, distressed rhythm. The overall construction stays broadly readable with simple, blocky letterforms, while the surface treatment adds strong visual noise and contrast between solid fills and eaten-away gaps.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, album/EP artwork, event flyers, and bold editorial or streaming thumbnails. It works well where texture is desired as a graphic element; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous tracking help preserve legibility.
The texture and rough edges give the font a gritty, confrontational tone that reads as rebellious and ominous. It evokes DIY flyers, distressed ink, and genre cues associated with horror and underground music, creating a sense of urgency and grit.
Likely designed to deliver a strong display voice with built-in wear and damage, simulating distressed printing to add instant attitude without additional effects. The goal appears to balance straightforward block forms with an intentionally chaotic surface for dramatic impact.
Capitals feel compact and weighty, while lowercase forms retain the same distressed treatment, keeping color dense in text lines. Numerals match the rugged, chipped texture, maintaining consistent presence in mixed settings.
