A heavy, compact display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and slightly uneven stroke widths that mimic worn printing or a rough brush/marker. Letterforms are mostly simplified and sturdy, with rounded terminals and occasional notches and dents that create a chiseled silhouette. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a lively rhythm and a slightly jittery baseline/edge behavior while remaining broadly legible at larger sizes.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short bursts of text where texture and attitude are the point—music and nightlife promotions, album/cover art, streetwear graphics, and bold packaging labels. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes when set large with comfortable spacing, but the distressed edges make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY attitude with a weathered, analog feel—like ink pressed through a worn stamp or printed from distressed type. Its roughness reads energetic and rebellious, with a street-poster and zine-like tone rather than polished branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, print-worn display voice that feels handmade and imperfect, adding instant grit and authenticity to contemporary layouts.
The distressed treatment is strongest along outer edges, creating high visual noise in dense paragraphs; the face benefits from generous tracking or larger point sizes. Numerals follow the same rough, chunky construction, and the overall palette stays consistently dark and weighty.
