A heavy, ink-blotted display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and a distinctly uneven rhythm. Strokes swell and pinch unpredictably, producing lumpy silhouettes, soft corners, and occasional sharp notches that feel carved rather than drawn. Counters are frequently collapsed or reduced to tiny openings, and joins often merge into solid masses, creating strong, stamp-like shapes. Spacing and sidebearings appear variable, with letter widths shifting noticeably across the alphabet, emphasizing a raw, improvised texture over smooth consistency.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as posters, titles, packaging accents, or editorial art where a distressed, handmade look is desired. It works well for music and event graphics, horror or occult-themed headings, and gritty branding moments where texture is a feature. For readability, it’s most effective at larger sizes and with generous tracking and line spacing.
The font conveys a rough, rebellious energy—part street-art stencil, part distressed brush mark. Its coarse, imperfect outlines and clogged interiors create a gritty, lo-fi tone that reads as expressive and intentionally unruly rather than polished or formal.
The design appears intended to mimic thick, uneven ink or cut-paper lettering, prioritizing attitude and texture over clean typographic regularity. Collapsed counters and irregular widths suggest an aim for a bold, solid mass that reproduces like a stamp or screen-printed mark.
The darkest areas dominate quickly, so texture and silhouette carry most of the recognition at smaller sizes. The forms feel most stable in short words where the irregularities read as character, while longer lines amplify the jittery rhythm and dense color.
