A heavy, all-caps–friendly serif style with chunky stems and brash, uneven contours. The letterforms read as printed rather than drawn, with jagged, torn-looking outer edges and occasional interior bite-outs that create a mottled silhouette. Counters are generally compact and irregular, and terminals end abruptly with broken, ink-worn shapes instead of clean serifs. Overall spacing feels sturdy and poster-like, with strong black mass and a deliberately unstable outline that suggests degradation or rough impression.
Best suited to display settings where the distressed texture can carry the message—posters, editorial headlines, album or game titles, and promotional graphics. It works particularly well when you want a rough, analog feel, and pairs nicely with simpler body fonts for contrast in longer layouts.
The font conveys a gritty, rebellious tone with a vintage, worn-print attitude. Its roughened shapes feel loud and tactile, evoking distressed posters, DIY flyers, and dark, dramatic titling with a slightly chaotic energy.
The design appears intended to mimic worn letterpress or stamped type, prioritizing strong impact and texture over refinement. Its consistent roughening and dense black shapes suggest a deliberate choice to create an aged, damaged-print look for expressive titling.
The distressing is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving text blocks a textured “stamped” color while still preserving clear word shapes. At smaller sizes the broken edges and tight counters can visually fill in, while at headline sizes the torn details become a prominent stylistic feature.
