A jagged, marker-like display face with irregular, broken contours and visibly uneven stroke edges. The letterforms are built from mostly straight segments with sharp corners and angular joins, giving many glyphs a boxy, chiseled silhouette. Strokes show inconsistent pressure and occasional interior notches, creating a rough printed/hand-drawn texture. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with a slightly erratic rhythm that reinforces the handmade construction.
Best suited to short headlines and display settings where texture is part of the message: posters, music artwork, street-style branding, and thematic titles for games or films. It can work for punchy pull quotes or packaging accents when set large with generous spacing, but the distressed edges make it less comfortable for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, with a DIY, street-level energy. It reads like hurried black-ink lettering—part punk flyer, part horror/underground zine—prioritizing attitude and texture over polish. The roughness adds tension and urgency, making it feel bold, informal, and a bit unruly.
The design appears intended to mimic rough hand-lettering made with a worn marker or brush pen, translating that imperfect, scratchy edge into a consistent alphabet. Its angular construction and distressed outline suggest a deliberate aim for high-impact, gritty display typography that feels handmade and expressive rather than refined.
In running text the texture accumulates quickly, producing a dark, noisy color that can feel intentionally distressed. The uppercase forms generally appear more geometric and blocky, while lowercase retains the same angular language but with looser proportions; together they maintain a consistent rough-ink personality.
