A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans with aggressively eroded contours and uneven stroke edges throughout. Letterforms are built from simple geometric skeletons, but the outlines are broken up into jagged, granular silhouettes that create a blotty, worn-print effect. Counters stay generally open and readable, though their interiors show irregular bite marks and pinched areas that add visual noise. Spacing appears slightly irregular from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade, distressed rhythm in both headline and paragraph settings.
Best suited to display applications where texture is a feature: posters, gig flyers, album/mixtape artwork, game titles, and gritty branding or packaging. It can work for short bursts of copy or pull quotes when set large with generous tracking, but it’s primarily optimized for impactful headlines and logos rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, evoking worn posters, rough stamping, and DIY print culture. Its coarse texture reads as loud and analog, with a sense of urgency and abrasion that suits dramatic, high-impact messaging.
The design intent appears to be a bold, distressed display face that mimics degraded ink coverage and torn or weathered edges, delivering an intentionally rough, imperfect print impression. It prioritizes attitude and texture over smooth precision, while keeping core letter structures straightforward for quick recognition.
Distinctive shapes like the pointed, triangular "A" and the sharply notched diagonals in letters such as "K" and "V" remain recognizable even with heavy erosion, which helps legibility at larger sizes. At smaller sizes the textured perimeter and interior chatter can visually fill in, so the font’s character is most apparent when given room to breathe.
