A condensed, heavy display face with rough, torn-looking contours and intermittent interior voids that mimic worn ink or scraped brush edges. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but fluctuate slightly, with blunt terminals, occasional drips, and jagged notches that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are irregular and sometimes partially filled, and the overall rhythm is intentionally uneven while remaining legible at larger sizes. Uppercase forms feel compact and blocky; lowercase follows with similarly narrow proportions and simplified joins, producing a cohesive, poster-like texture across text.
Best suited to short display settings where its rough texture can read clearly: horror or thriller titles, Halloween graphics, punk/metal posters, album art, event flyers, and game or streaming key art. It also works well for logotypes and headers that want a deliberately imperfect, gritty imprint.
The font projects an aggressive, gritty tone—evoking DIY flyers, horror titling, and rough-printed ephemera. Its distressed edges and inky fills create a sense of menace and urgency, with a raw, underground energy.
The design appears intended to simulate harsh, degraded printing or fast, inky brush lettering while keeping a condensed, high-impact footprint. Its controlled narrowness and consistent distressing suggest a purpose-built display font meant to deliver atmosphere and attitude more than neutrality.
The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, giving long lines a dense, noisy color on the page. Spiky details and ragged edges are a core part of the design, so small sizes may lose nuance as the distressing collapses into solid shapes.
