A compact, heavy display face with tall, condensed proportions and simplified, mostly monoline letterforms. Strokes end in irregular, torn-looking edges that create a distressed silhouette, while counters stay relatively open for a bold style. Curves are rounded but slightly lumpy, and terminals often look chipped or brushed, giving a hand-cut rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, narrow stance, with the lowercase staying notably short against the capitals and ascenders.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, headlines, merch graphics, and packaging where the ragged edges can be part of the visual message. It works well for Halloween-themed or quirky branding, signage, and punchy pull quotes, but is less appropriate for dense body text where the distressed contours may reduce comfort.
The overall tone is playful and slightly eerie, combining cartoon energy with a rough, worn texture. It suggests DIY print, spooky-fun graphics, and a mischievous, offbeat attitude rather than polished neutrality.
Designed to feel hand-drawn and intentionally imperfect, this font aims to deliver a bold, condensed headline voice with a distressed finish. The goal appears to be quick attention and character—like inked lettering that has been scraped, chipped, or cut from paper—while keeping core shapes simple and readable.
Spacing appears intentionally uneven to enhance the hand-rendered feel, and the distressed edges become more noticeable as text sizes increase. Numerals and key shapes like O/0 read clearly, but the rough terminals introduce a purposeful ruggedness that will dominate at small sizes or in long passages.
