A heavy, upright display face with chunky letterforms and aggressively irregular contours. Strokes appear cut or eroded, producing jagged outer edges, nibbled counters, and occasional spur-like protrusions that give each glyph a torn, ink-blot silhouette. The rhythm is uneven by design, with visibly inconsistent widths and rough sidebearings that create a choppy texture in words. Bowls and apertures stay mostly open, but the distressed treatment can partially occlude counters and soften internal shapes.
Best suited for short, prominent text where texture is a feature—posters, event flyers, album artwork, game/film titling, and attention-grabbing packaging. It works well when paired with a cleaner companion for body copy, using this face for headlines, callouts, or branding elements that need a gritty, disruptive voice.
The overall tone is raw and unruly, evoking zines, DIY flyers, and suspense or horror titling. Its coarse edges and battered shapes suggest noise, decay, and high-energy agitation rather than refinement, lending an intentionally unsettling, rebellious feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a bold silhouette combined with deliberate distortion, mimicking torn paper, chipped paint, or degraded ink. Its irregularity reads as purposeful, aiming for a one-off, expressive display look that prioritizes attitude and atmosphere over neutrality.
In the sample text, the distress pattern remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a strong all-over texture. The bold mass helps retain recognizable silhouettes, but the roughness can reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs. Numerals and punctuation match the same torn-edge motif, supporting cohesive headline and poster use.
