A heavy, compact sans with blunt, simplified forms and noticeably irregular contours. Strokes look brushy and ink-loaded, with rough, torn-looking edges and occasional bulges that suggest imperfect printing or hand-painted letterforms. Counters are small and often asymmetrical, terminals are mostly squared-off, and the overall rhythm is lively due to varied stroke thickness and slightly inconsistent widths across glyphs. The numerals and capitals share the same rugged texture, keeping a cohesive, poster-like density in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as posters, flyers, packaging callouts, and social graphics where texture is part of the message. It works well for music and nightlife promotion, craft/handmade branding, and any design needing a bold, gritty display voice rather than long-form readability.
The font communicates a gritty, handmade energy—part street-poster, part DIY craft, with a playful roughness rather than a refined distress. Its texture and wobble give it an informal, rebellious tone that feels energetic and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to mimic rough ink or paint applied quickly, capturing the character of worn stamping or hand-rendered signage while maintaining clear, simplified letter shapes for strong display impact.
At text sizes the distressed perimeter becomes a dominant feature, creating a dark color and a noisy silhouette that reads best with generous tracking and line spacing. The irregularity is consistent enough to feel intentional, while still providing enough variation to keep headlines from looking mechanical.
