A distressed, all-caps-forward display face with compact proportions and heavily roughened contours. Strokes are thick and broken at the edges, creating a torn-ink/eroded print texture with frequent nicks and bumps along stems and curves. The letterforms keep mostly straightforward, upright construction, but the outline damage introduces lively irregular rhythm and slightly inconsistent stroke termination. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and punctuation/dots appear as ink-blobby marks consistent with the overall degradation.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, album art, and event flyers where texture is part of the message. It can also support game/film titles and themed packaging, especially when you want a worn, underground print feel rather than clean readability.
The overall tone is gritty and aggressive, evoking worn posters, photocopied flyers, and battered signage. Its rough texture reads as loud and confrontational, with a dark, edgy character that can lean ominous when set in larger sizes.
The design appears intended to simulate harsh printing and wear—like ink spread, rough paper, or repeated photocopying—while retaining simple, sturdy letter skeletons. The goal is to deliver instant atmosphere and edge, prioritizing texture and attitude over smooth typographic refinement.
Texture density is high enough that fine interior details can close up at smaller sizes, while the distressed perimeter remains the most recognizable feature. Numerals and lowercase follow the same eroded treatment, helping mixed-case settings stay visually consistent.
