A condensed, upright display face with rough, brush-like strokes and visibly distressed contours. Letterforms have uneven outlines, occasional interior gouges, and abrupt terminals that mimic dry-brush or worn printing. Stems and bowls show pronounced thick–thin behavior within single strokes, with small spikes and nicks creating a jittery rhythm across words. Shapes remain generally legible, but the texture and irregular stroke endings give each glyph a slightly different footprint and color on the line.
Best suited to headlines and short phrases where the distressed texture can read clearly—such as posters, horror or thriller titling, album/playlist artwork, game titles, and dramatic packaging accents. It can work for logos or badges when a rough, hand-rendered stamp feel is desired, but the heavy texture is likely to overwhelm long passages or small UI text.
The overall tone is tense and raw, with a gritty, handmade energy that reads as edgy and slightly ominous. Its distressed texture evokes horror titling, underground flyers, and lo-fi DIY aesthetics rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to simulate a hand-painted or dry-brushed letter style that has been worn down, creating a gritty, distressed presence while keeping familiar uppercase and lowercase structures for usability in display settings.
In the text sample, the font maintains readability at larger sizes, but the scratchy counters and inconsistent edges create dense black spots in round letters and at joins. Numerals match the same roughened construction, with curled, brushy strokes and irregular curves that feel drawn rather than engineered.
