A heavy, all-caps–friendly display face with a dense, inked-in silhouette and aggressively irregular outlines. Strokes appear cut or torn rather than drawn, with jagged edges, lumpy corners, and uneven stroke terminals that create a mottled texture across each glyph. Counters are small and rough, and the overall color is dark and compact, producing strong impact but reduced clarity at smaller sizes. Spacing and letterfit feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing a hand-crafted, distressed rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, album/mixtape artwork, event flyers, game titles, and punchy packaging or stickers where texture is part of the message. It works well for short headlines, logos, and callouts; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve legibility.
The font reads as loud, mischievous, and deliberately rough—evoking punk zines, DIY flyers, and gritty poster lettering. Its irregular texture adds a sense of energy and disorder, making text feel rebellious and attention-seeking rather than refined or formal.
The design appears intended to simulate rough-cut or distressed lettering with a bold, ink-heavy presence—prioritizing attitude, texture, and visual noise over precision. It aims to deliver a handcrafted, rebellious headline voice that feels improvised and gritty.
Uppercase forms dominate visually with blocky, simplified construction, while lowercase maintains the same rugged texture and chunky proportions. Numerals match the distressed treatment closely, supporting cohesive use in headlines and short bursts of text where a raw, stamped look is desirable.
