A heavy, ink-saturated display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and subtly uneven stroke edges throughout. Forms are largely monoline in feel but vary locally due to the distressed perimeter, producing a blotty silhouette and occasional interior nicks. Counters are compact and sometimes lumpy, and terminals tend to end bluntly rather than crisply. Overall proportions read as sturdy and compact, with a slightly bouncy rhythm and small variations in character-to-character footprint that reinforce a hand-made, stamped/printed impression.
Best suited for short-to-medium display copy where texture and impact are desired: posters, punchy headlines, album or merch graphics, craft or street-inspired packaging, and event promotions. It can also work for badges and titles in games or themed graphics when a worn, inked look is needed, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text.
The font conveys a raw, energetic tone—part gritty and part playful—like bold lettering pulled from a worn poster or messy marker/ink application. Its rough texture adds attitude and immediacy, giving text a tactile, imperfect presence that feels informal and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with an intentionally imperfect, distressed surface—prioritizing personality and texture over crisp neutrality. It aims to mimic bold hand-inked or rough-printed lettering, giving layouts a rugged, analog feel without needing additional effects.
At smaller sizes the distressed edges and tight counters can merge and darken, while at medium-to-large sizes the texture becomes a defining feature. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same rugged edge language, supporting consistent display setting across mixed-case and figures.
