A heavy, blocky display face with uneven, torn-looking contours and subtly wavy sides that suggest rough cutting or worn printing. Strokes are thick with compact counters and occasional nicks and bites along edges, creating a mottled silhouette while keeping the core letterforms legible. The set mixes round and angular construction, with simplified terminals and irregular interior shapes that enhance the handmade, distressed rhythm across lines of text.
Works best for posters, event flyers, album covers, and bold packaging where a gritty, printed texture is desirable. It also suits themed titles for horror, punk, skate, or B-movie aesthetics, especially when used at larger sizes where the distressed contours remain clear.
The overall tone feels gritty and playful at once—like DIY poster lettering that’s been weathered, stamped, or dragged through ink. Its rough texture reads as energetic and rebellious rather than delicate, lending a bold, noisy voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed to deliver an instantly recognizable, worn-in display look—combining sturdy, readable letterforms with intentionally irregular edges to evoke aged ink, rough printing, or cutout lettering.
Spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven, reinforcing the organic, non-mechanical texture. In longer text, the distressed edges create a dark, dense color on the page, so the font’s character is most apparent when given room and size to show the ragged detail.
