A heavy, inked display face with rough, torn-looking contours and a visibly handmade rhythm. Strokes are thick with chiseled terminals and uneven edges that suggest a dry brush or distressed stamp effect rather than clean vector geometry. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, while curves and verticals wobble slightly from letter to letter, giving the alphabet an organic, imperfect consistency. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and a bouncy baseline that reinforces the drawn quality.
Best suited to short, bold applications where texture is an asset—posters, headlines, cover art, product labels, and branding elements that want a handmade or distressed punch. It can also work for themed materials (horror, western, rustic craft) where a rough printed feel helps set the scene.
The overall tone feels handcrafted and gritty, with a rustic, slightly ominous character. Its distressed black silhouette reads like old signage, pulp headlines, or hand-inked lettering, adding drama and texture even in short phrases.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-printed or brush-inked lettering with intentional distress, prioritizing expressive texture and a strong silhouette over smooth refinement. Its irregular contours and compact counters aim to give a bold, tactile presence in display settings.
At text sizes the dense texture and tight counters can make longer passages feel heavy, but the strong silhouette and irregular edges create immediate visual impact. Numerals match the same rugged, blunted treatment, keeping a cohesive voice across headings and badges.
