A distressed, hand-drawn print face with tall, condensed proportions and irregular, brush-like stroke edges. Letterforms show noticeable texture and ragged contours, with occasional tapered terminals and slight blotting that suggests dry-brush or ink drag. Curves are simplified and slightly lumpy, counters are uneven, and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm. Numerals match the same roughened construction and remain legible at display sizes.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and event materials where texture and attitude are desired. It’s particularly effective for seasonal or genre-forward work (e.g., Halloween, horror, thriller, or punk/garage themes) and for branding accents that benefit from a rough, handmade voice.
The overall tone feels spooky and gritty, with a DIY, horror-adjacent energy that reads as both menacing and slightly tongue-in-cheek. Its rough texture and narrow stance give it a tense, urgent voice well suited to dramatic or mischievous messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, hand-painted lettering with deliberate distressing, prioritizing expressive texture and dramatic presence over smooth refinement. Its condensed build and uneven edges aim to deliver impact and atmosphere in display typography.
The distressed detailing is a core feature, so the texture can visually fill in at small sizes or on low-resolution output; it reads best when given enough size and contrast. The set maintains consistent vertical emphasis, while the edge wear and stroke wobble provide the character.
