A heavy, compact display face with irregular, eroded contours that read like torn paper or chipped ink. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but with frequent gouges, bites, and rough interior voids that create a mottled texture across each glyph. Curves are bulbous and slightly lumpy, while straights end in blunt, uneven terminals; counters vary widely from letter to letter. Overall spacing and proportions feel intentionally inconsistent, producing a jittery rhythm that emphasizes texture over precision.
Best suited for short display settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, punchy headlines, album art, themed event flyers, and packaging accents. It can work well when a rough, quirky tone is desired, but is less appropriate for dense body text or small UI labeling due to its deliberate irregularity.
The distressed silhouettes and unpredictable cutouts give the font a mischievous, slightly ominous energy—equal parts spooky and humorous. Its rough, handmade character suggests messiness and motion, making it feel expressive and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable, distressed display voice by combining chunky letterforms with aggressive erosion and irregular counters. The goal is impact and personality—creating a one-off, textured look that feels handmade and chaotic.
Many letters include conspicuous interior breaks or notches that can fill in or fragment at smaller sizes, so the texture becomes the dominant feature. Numerals follow the same rough treatment, with simplified, chunky forms and occasional dramatic voids.
