A jagged, distressed display face with uneven, torn-looking contours and intentionally irregular stroke edges. Letterforms keep a mostly upright skeleton with compact proportions, but each glyph shows strong textural variation, creating a noisy silhouette and a lively, inconsistent rhythm. Counters are often pinched or ragged, terminals look chipped rather than cleanly cut, and curves break into faceted, notched segments, giving the alphabet a gritty, cutout-like presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications like posters, titles, and bold headings where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It can work well for horror or Halloween-themed graphics, gritty music and club promotion, editorial callouts, and packaging or labels that want a rough, handmade edge.
The overall tone feels grimy and energetic—more rebellious than refined—suggesting horror-leaning grit, DIY zine attitude, and a touch of dark humor. Its rough texture reads as weathered, distressed, and intentionally imperfect, lending a raw, handmade character to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally damaged, roughened look while retaining recognizable letter shapes. Its primary goal is atmosphere and personality—adding grit and urgency to display typography rather than optimizing for long-form readability.
In text settings the texture is prominent and can visually thicken at smaller sizes, so spacing and line breaks benefit from generous breathing room. The irregular contours create strong visual noise that works best when the font is allowed to be the focal point rather than a supporting voice.
