A heavy, condensed display face with jagged, irregular contours and uneven internal counters that suggest worn printing or torn edges. Strokes stay predominantly vertical with blunt terminals, while the outlines wobble subtly, producing a lively, distressed silhouette across the alphabet. Spacing appears fairly tight and compact, and the texture remains consistently gritty from capitals through lowercase and numerals, preserving strong, dark word shapes at larger sizes.
Best suited for display work where texture is an asset: posters, gig and event flyers, album and merch graphics, game or film title cards, and branding that wants a gritty edge. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels when set large, with ample line spacing to prevent the distressed edges from visually filling in.
The letterforms convey a tense, abrasive mood—grimy and confrontational rather than refined. Its distressed texture and compact density evoke underground flyers, spooky titles, and weathered signage, adding drama and urgency to short messages.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, distressed impact that reads quickly while adding a worn, analog texture. The goal appears to be a high-contrast-in-spirit silhouette—solid, condensed forms paired with roughened edges—to communicate intensity and atmosphere in headline contexts.
Capitals read as blocky and imposing, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, slightly gothic flavor without becoming ornate. Numerals match the same torn-ink texture, keeping mixed text feeling cohesive. The rough edges create noticeable sparkle and noise in longer passages, making the font feel most at home as a headline style rather than continuous reading.
