A heavy, all-caps-forward display face with compact, blocky letterforms and pronounced, uneven edges. Strokes look like they were painted or stamped with a dry brush, producing ragged contours, occasional nicks, and slightly irregular stroke terminals. Counters are generally squarish and tight, and the overall geometry leans rectangular and angular rather than round. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally imperfect, hand-made rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, flyers, event graphics, album/track artwork, apparel, and packaging callouts. It holds up well at larger sizes where the distressed edges become a feature, while extended text or small sizes may lose clarity due to the rough contours and tight counters.
The texture and rough finishing give the font a confrontational, street-level energy—more zine and gig-poster than polished branding. It feels loud and tactile, with a distressed imprint that suggests urgency, noise, and anti-gloss authenticity.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect ink coverage and worn, hand-applied lettering while keeping a strong, block-based structure for immediate legibility. It prioritizes character and texture over typographic refinement, aiming for a bold, handmade presence in display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent rough treatment, with the lowercase retaining a sturdy, constructed feel rather than cursive handwriting. Numerals match the same rugged silhouette and read as cut or brushed shapes, suitable for attention-grabbing set pieces rather than fine detail.
