An energetic, slanted display face with jagged, distressed contours and a brushy, torn-ink silhouette. Strokes are heavy with uneven edges and frequent尖-like terminals, creating a chiseled, weathered look rather than clean curves. Letterforms show lively, handwritten variance in width and internal shaping, with tight sidebearings and a compact lowercase that sits relatively low against taller ascenders and capitals. The overall texture is consistently rough, producing strong black shapes and a noisy outline that reads as deliberate wear or aggressive dry-brush marking.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, event promos, and editorial display where texture is desirable. It can work well for genre-forward themes like horror, grunge, or punk-inspired branding, and for packaging or merchandise graphics that benefit from a rough, printed-wear feel.
The font conveys a gritty, confrontational tone—part punk flyer, part horror title card. Its roughness and angled rhythm suggest urgency and intensity, with a handmade edge that feels raw and unapologetic rather than polished or refined.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed brush lettering or degraded print, prioritizing texture and attitude over neutrality. Its consistent ragged treatment across the character set suggests it was built to deliver an immediate, thematic voice in display typography.
In the sample text, the distressed edges remain prominent even at smaller sizes, creating a visible grain that becomes a key part of the color on the page. The italic slant and sharp terminals add forward motion, while the irregular outlines keep the texture lively across repeated letters and numerals.
