A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, ragged contours and uneven ink-like edges. Letterforms are compact and strongly filled, with bumpy silhouettes, occasional nicks, and subtly inconsistent stroke endings that create a worn, stamped feel. Counters are small and sometimes lopsided, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than strictly geometric, giving lines of text a textured, noisy color while staying broadly legible at larger sizes.
Best suited for short-form display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, cover art, or themed packaging where texture is an asset. It works well when you want instant character and impact, and is most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the rough detail can be appreciated.
The font projects a gritty, mischievous tone—somewhere between DIY poster lettering and horror-adjacent novelty. Its rough perimeter and blotted texture add drama and immediacy, making it feel loud, scrappy, and a little unsettling without becoming unreadable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately degraded, imperfect surface—evoking worn print, rough inking, or torn edges—while maintaining recognizable, straightforward letter skeletons for quick readability in display contexts.
The distressed edge treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “printed under stress” impression. Spacing appears straightforward, but the heavy texture can visually close up at smaller sizes, especially in tighter counters and rounded shapes.
