A heavy, slanted display face with aggressively irregular contours and torn, brush-like terminals. Strokes look pressure-driven and uneven, with jagged edges and frequent droplet-like protrusions that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are small and inconsistent, and the glyphs vary in width and stance, giving the line a restless, handmade rhythm. The overall construction stays legible but prioritizes texture and attitude over clean geometry.
Best suited for high-impact headlines on posters, flyers, and cover art where the distressed texture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for horror-themed titles, Halloween promotions, game/stream overlays, and music or skate/punk branding. Use sparingly in UI or long paragraphs, where the heavy texture may overwhelm.
The font reads loud, messy, and mischievous, with a horror-comic edge created by its dripping, ragged outlines. Its energetic slant and chunky mass feel like hand-painted lettering made for shock value and humor. The tone lands somewhere between haunted-house poster and DIY punk flyer.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate, one-off display voice: bold, slanted, and intentionally rough, as if painted quickly with a loaded brush and left to drip. Its consistent distressing across letters and numbers suggests a focus on creating a unified “messy” texture for dramatic, characterful typography rather than neutral reading comfort.
In running text the texture can visually “crawl,” especially where internal notches and rough counters cluster, so spacing and size will strongly affect readability. Numerals and capitals carry the same distressed treatment, helping headings and short bursts of copy feel cohesive. The irregular baselines and varied stroke endings contribute to an intentionally unstable, animated look.
