A heavy, inked display face with jagged, torn-looking contours and uneven stroke edges, as if stamped or brush-painted on rough paper. Forms are mostly upright with simplified, blocky construction, but widths and silhouettes vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving a handmade rhythm. Counters are compact and often irregular, and terminals end in blunt, chipped shapes that create a textured outline at any size.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, title cards, event flyers, album/playlist art, and game or film graphics where texture is a feature. It can also work for packaging and labels that aim for a gritty, handcrafted feel; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gritty and ominous, evoking worn posters, macabre titles, and handmade signage. Its distressed texture reads as raw and energetic rather than polished, leaning toward spooky and chaotic without becoming illegible.
The design appears intended to simulate distressed printing or rough hand-lettering with a strong silhouette, delivering instant texture and atmosphere without additional effects. It prioritizes impact and mood over neutrality, aiming to make headings feel aged, gritty, and slightly unsettling.
The texture is built into the letterforms rather than added as a separate overlay, so the roughness remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The strongest character comes from the broken perimeter and slightly uneven internal spaces, which give lines of text a lively, restless color.
