A rough, hand-rendered print face with chunky strokes and jagged, ink-worn edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with a slightly bouncy baseline and irregular stroke endings that resemble dry-brush or marker drag. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and terminals frequently taper or break, creating a distressed silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade rhythm while keeping the overall structure legible.
Best suited to short, bold statements such as posters, album/EP artwork, event promotions, packaging accents, and streetwear-style graphics. It performs well in headlines, labels, and display settings where texture and attitude are desired, and is less ideal for long-form text or small UI sizes due to the heavy distressing.
The font communicates a gritty, DIY attitude—more punk flyer than polished branding. Its distressed texture and uneven contours feel energetic and a bit chaotic, lending an immediate, rebellious tone. The overall voice is informal and expressive, with a tactile, analog feel.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, forceful hand lettering with a deliberately worn, distressed finish. Its irregular widths and rough terminals prioritize personality and impact over typographic smoothness, aiming for a gritty, analog print vibe that reads as intentionally unrefined.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged texture, with lowercase showing especially playful inconsistency in stroke thickness and bowls. Numerals follow the same torn-edge treatment and read as hand-drawn rather than geometric. The texture is strong enough that fine details can fill in at small sizes, especially in tighter counters.
