A heavy, all-caps-led display face with chunky silhouettes and intentionally ragged contours. Strokes feel cut or scuffed away, producing irregular edges, nicks, and occasional interior voids that read like worn ink or torn paper. Curves are broad and simplified, counters are tight, and terminals often look chipped rather than cleanly finished. Overall spacing and rhythm are sturdy and compact, with small variations in glyph widths that enhance the handmade, distressed texture.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and punchy packaging or sticker-style graphics. It also fits music, nightlife, and youth-culture visuals where a rough, printed texture is desirable. For longer passages, it works most effectively as a textured accent rather than continuous reading text.
The font communicates a loud, gritty energy—more street-poster and DIY than polished branding. Its rough surface and uneven bite marks suggest urgency, rebellion, and a slightly chaotic, mischievous attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately degraded, tactile finish—evoking worn signage, rough screenprints, or stamped lettering. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and an expressive surface texture to add instant character to display typography.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with some letters showing stronger interior breakups (notably rounded forms) that amplify the worn-print feel. The bold mass keeps forms readable at display sizes, while the texture becomes more prominent as size increases.
