A high-contrast, display-oriented serif with roughened outlines and ragged, brush-splinter terminals. Strokes feel inked and slightly uneven, with visible nicks, spikes, and distressed interior counters that create a worn, noisy texture. The letterforms are largely upright with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and compact serifs that often break into pointed, frayed ends; widths vary noticeably across glyphs, adding an irregular rhythm. Numerals and lowercase echo the same distressed treatment, maintaining consistent texture while allowing small shape quirks from character to character.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the distressed texture can be appreciated—titles, headers, posters, and branding marks that want a gritty or ominous presence. It can also work for game interfaces, album art, and themed packaging where atmospheric display type is more important than clean small-size readability.
The overall tone is dark, gritty, and confrontational, combining a traditional serif base with a scratched, distressed surface. It reads as ominous and energetic—more “weathered ink” than clean print—making it feel suited to horror-leaning or underground aesthetics.
This design appears intended to merge a legible serif structure with aggressive wear and scratch marks, delivering a dramatic, distressed voice without fully abandoning traditional letterform cues. The goal seems to be instant atmosphere—dark, rough, and attention-grabbing—while remaining readable in headline settings.
Texture is heavy enough that fine details can visually fill in at small sizes, while the jagged terminals and irregular edge noise become a defining feature at larger settings. The sample text shows the distressed edges staying consistent across long lines, producing a strong all-over grain that dominates the typographic color.
