A compact, all-caps-forward display face with chunky, irregular letterforms and noticeably rough, torn-looking contours. Strokes feel brushy and ink-heavy, with uneven edges and intermittent interior nicks that mimic distressed printing or worn stamping. Curves are slightly squarish and simplified, counters are small-to-medium and often lumpy, and terminals end bluntly rather than with clean cuts. Spacing is moderately tight with a lively, inconsistent rhythm that reinforces the handmade texture while keeping forms recognizable.
Best suited to short, impactful text such as posters, headlines, album or gig artwork, and branding moments that benefit from a rough, analog feel. It also works well on packaging or labels where the distressed texture can suggest craft, grit, or vintage wear. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, with a DIY, underground energy that reads as raw and imperfect by design. The distressed texture adds a sense of age, wear, and urgency, like ink dragged across rough paper or type pulled from an old, battered stamp set.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, tactile, distressed look that simulates imperfect ink and abrasion. The consistent roughening across glyphs suggests a deliberate print-wear effect aimed at high-impact display typography with a rebellious, handmade character.
Lowercase echoes the same rugged construction and tends to feel small and sturdy, while uppercase carries the strongest personality for headings. Numerals match the heavy, worn texture and remain legible, though the distressed edges add visual noise at smaller sizes.
