A jagged, ink-worn display face with irregular outlines and pitted counters that mimic rough printing or eroded brush/pen strokes. Stems and bowls are generally sturdy but visibly scalloped, with frequent nicks, spikes, and uneven terminals that create a lively, broken silhouette. Proportions feel slightly condensed with a strong vertical stance, and the forms lean on simple, readable skeletons despite the heavy surface distress. Curves (O, C, G) are notably lumpy and organic, while diagonals and joints show choppy, hand-cut energy.
Best suited to short headlines and display applications where the distressed edges can read as intentional texture—posters, title cards, packaging accents, and themed graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a cleaner text face to preserve readability in longer passages.
The font communicates a gritty, ominous tone—suggesting horror ephemera, occult flyers, or battered punk zines. Its distressed texture adds tension and age, evoking something stamped, dragged, or printed from a worn plate rather than cleanly set type.
Likely designed to deliver an immediately recognizable distressed character while keeping letter skeletons familiar enough for quick decoding. The goal appears to be a rugged, ink-abused aesthetic that feels vintage and sinister without resorting to extreme abstraction.
The texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “weathered ink” look. At smaller sizes the roughness may visually thicken joins and close apertures, while larger settings emphasize the dramatic, torn edges and handmade rhythm.
