A heavy, rounded sans with blunt terminals and compact counters, built from simple geometric forms and a sturdy, poster-like rhythm. The defining feature is an all-over distressed treatment: edges are chipped, notched, and torn with irregular bites that vary by glyph, giving the outlines a rough, broken silhouette. Curves (O, C, G) stay broadly circular while still showing intermittent gouges, and straight strokes carry jagged interruptions that read like worn stencil cuts or rough print damage. Spacing and proportions feel headline-oriented, with simplified details and a strong, uniform color on the page.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, gig and event flyers, album/cover art, and apparel graphics. It can also suit branding marks that want a rugged texture, especially when set large or paired with a clean secondary text face.
The overall tone is loud and gritty, balancing a friendly rounded base with aggressive, fractured edges. It suggests a worn, DIY energy—part punk flyer, part horror-leaning roughness—without becoming illegible at display sizes. The texture adds motion and attitude, making the voice feel rebellious and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to combine a sturdy, approachable rounded sans foundation with a deliberate worn-out texture, creating instant character and grit in display typography. The consistent heavy weight supports strong silhouettes while the distressed contouring supplies the theme and energy.
The distress pattern is bold enough to be a primary visual element, so stroke breaks and chipped corners become more noticeable as size decreases. The round forms keep words recognizable, but fine interior nicks can visually fill in at smaller settings, making it best treated as a texture-forward display face.
