A narrow, upright text face with strongly irregular contours and a rough, ink-bled silhouette. Strokes show pronounced texture and edge breakup, with intermittent thinning and thickening that creates a high-contrast, distressed rhythm rather than smooth modulation. Letterforms are mostly conventional in skeleton, but counters and joins feel worn and slightly unstable, giving a stamped or degraded print impression. Spacing reads compact and unevenly lively, and the overall color on the page is dark and blotty despite the relatively modest underlying weight.
Best suited to display typography where the distressed texture can be appreciated—such as horror or thriller titles, posters, album/film packaging, game titles, or chapter heads. It can also work for short bursts of atmospheric text (pull quotes, labels, or signage-style treatments), but is less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes due to its intentionally rough edges.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade tone—evoking aged print, battered signage, or horror-leaning ephemera. Its roughness adds tension and immediacy, suggesting something archival, ominous, or underground rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to simulate degraded printing or hand-inked lettering, prioritizing atmosphere and tactile imperfection over neutrality. It leverages consistent distress and narrow proportions to create a compact, attention-grabbing voice with a distinctly weathered presence.
Texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with frequent nicks, ragged terminals, and broken edges that become more apparent at larger sizes. The distressed detailing can visually fuse at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs, while in display settings it reads as intentional wear and material character.
