A rough, heavy display face with irregular, ink-like contours and frequent interior voids that resemble worn printing or a dry marker. Strokes fluctuate in thickness and edge fidelity, creating a high-contrast, broken silhouette with occasional notches and blots. The letterforms are mostly simple, blocky constructions with softened corners, but widths and counters vary noticeably, producing an uneven rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals keep a sturdy, poster-like presence while the lowercase leans toward compact, slightly rounded shapes with inconsistent terminals.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is an asset—posters, album/EP artwork, event flyers, book or game titles, and expressive packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or badges when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve the distressed detail.
The overall tone feels raw and gritty, with a DIY, underground energy reminiscent of distressed posters, zines, and stamped or over-inked lettering. Its uneven texture adds tension and attitude, making text feel loud and imperfect by design.
The design appears intended to mimic worn, overprinted, or hand-inked lettering—capturing the immediacy of rough production methods while keeping recognizable, sturdy letter shapes for impactful display use.
Texture is a defining feature: many glyphs show speckling, ragged edges, and partially filled counters that will visually merge at small sizes or in dense settings. The irregular widths and lively outlines give headlines a hand-made cadence but reduce uniformity for long passages.
