A heavy, block-based display face with irregular, hand-rendered edges and a dry-brush/inked texture. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline in feel, but their outlines wobble and chip, producing a distressed silhouette and uneven internal counters. Corners tend toward squarish geometry, while joins and terminals look torn or rubbed, creating a lively, noisy rhythm across words and lines. Spacing appears intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing the handmade, cut-and-printed impression.
Best suited for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, album/mixtape art, event flyers, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for title cards or splash screens where texture and attitude are more important than prolonged readability.
The overall tone is gritty and mischievous, with a DIY attitude that reads like stamped lettering, punk flyers, or photocopied zines. Its roughened contours give it an energetic, rebellious presence that feels playful rather than formal.
Likely designed to mimic rough, analog lettering—somewhere between stamp-cut blocks and brushy, distressed signage—while keeping strong, simple shapes that hold up in large-scale applications. The intent appears to prioritize personality and texture over typographic polish, delivering an expressive, one-off display voice.
The texture can visually fill in at smaller sizes, especially in tight counters, so it reads strongest when given room to breathe. The numerals and uppercase maintain the same rugged, blocky voice, keeping the set cohesive for loud headlines and labels.
