A rough, inked display face with brush-like strokes, jagged terminals, and visibly broken edges that mimic irregular printing or dry-brush lettering. Stems alternate between thick, blotted masses and hairline slivers, creating punchy contrast and a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are small and sometimes partially closed by ink buildup, while curves wobble slightly and joins look organic rather than constructed. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, hand-rendered texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, album/track artwork, horror or thriller titling, game headings, and gritty editorial callouts. It also works well for branding accents on packaging or merchandise where an analog, worn print feel is desired; avoid very small sizes or dense paragraphs where the rough edges may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is gritty and immediate, with a distressed, DIY character that can feel ominous or confrontational depending on setting. Its rough texture and irregular rhythm suggest underground culture, horror-leaning atmospheres, and tactile, analog mark-making.
The design appears intended to deliver a convincing worn-ink, hand-painted look with strong contrast and irregular edges, prioritizing mood and texture over typographic neutrality. Its letterforms aim to feel personal and imperfect, as if rendered with a brush or marker and then degraded through printing or age.
The uppercase reads like a roughened, display-cap alphabet with inconsistent stroke endings and occasional spur-like notches, while the lowercase has a compact, handwritten feel and a relatively small x-height. Numerals follow the same distressed logic, with simplified shapes and uneven stroke thickness that keeps the set cohesive in textured applications.
