A distressed display face with jagged, torn-looking contours and an irregular, ink-blotted silhouette. Strokes show sharp nicks and bite marks along the edges, creating a rough texture even at larger sizes. Letterforms lean slightly and feel loosely constructed, with uneven terminals, wobbly bowls, and inconsistent counters that add to the handmade character. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing an intentionally unruly rhythm in words and lines of text.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as posters, album art, festival or club flyers, game and film titles, and attention-grabbing headers. It works particularly well when the goal is to add grit and urgency to short phrases, logos, or splash screens rather than extended reading.
The overall tone is abrasive and energetic, evoking DIY flyers, horror titles, and gritty underground graphics. Its scratchy edges and unstable shapes suggest danger, noise, and mischief rather than refinement or neutrality.
The design appears intended to simulate rough, torn, or eroded lettering—like ink dragged over a textured surface or shapes cut and weathered—prioritizing atmosphere and attitude over precision. Its irregular construction and aggressive edge texture are geared toward creating an immediate, characterful statement in display contexts.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed logic, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals carry the same torn-edge treatment, making the set feel cohesive for short, punchy messaging. The heavy texture can visually fill in smaller counters, so the font reads best when given enough size and contrast against the background.
