A compact, heavy display face with tall proportions and aggressively roughened contours. Strokes are mostly vertical and chunky, with jagged, chipped edges and occasional ink-like blobs that create an uneven silhouette. Counters are small and irregular, and curves look slightly faceted as if stamped or brush-printed under pressure. Spacing reads tight and lively, with widths that vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for a more handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short headlines and display settings where texture is meant to be seen—posters, album or game titles, festival and event flyers, and bold packaging accents. It works well when paired with a clean sans or simple serif for supporting text, reserving this face for emphasis.
The texture and torn edges give the font a gritty, confrontational tone that feels noisy and urgent. It suggests underground flyers, DIY printing, and suspenseful or ominous atmospheres, leaning toward dramatic, high-impact messaging rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy forms and a deliberately degraded, ink-worn surface. Its irregular edges and uneven rhythm prioritize attitude and texture, evoking distressed print and rough hand-made lettering for expressive branding and titling.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, keeping a unified “worn print” look. At smaller sizes the roughness can visually fill in counters and reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the texture becomes a defining graphic feature.
