A heavy, irregular display face with chunky, blobby silhouettes and visibly distressed contours. Strokes feel brushy and worn, with uneven edges, occasional notches, and partially collapsed counters that create dense interior shapes. Proportions vary noticeably from letter to letter, producing a lively, uneven rhythm, while the overall build remains upright and compact. The lowercase reads more conventional in structure than the caps, but it retains the same roughened terminals and soft, inky rounding; numerals follow the same distressed, filled-in counter treatment.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as posters, event flyers, album or podcast artwork, merch, stickers, and packaging accents. It can also work for short pull quotes or logotypes where the distressed, inky texture is a feature rather than a readability requirement.
The font projects a gritty, handmade energy that feels noisy and expressive rather than refined. Its uneven texture and heavy spotting suggest underground print culture—zines, gig flyers, and DIY signage—while the rounded blobs keep it more playful than aggressive.
Likely designed to mimic distressed ink coverage and worn stencil/print artifacts, prioritizing texture and attitude over clean counterforms. The goal appears to be a bold, tactile headline voice with deliberate imperfections and a DIY, hand-rendered finish.
Because many counters are reduced or filled, small sizes and tight tracking can quickly turn letterforms into dark shapes; it performs best when given generous size and spacing. The mix of smoother lowercase forms with more rugged, poster-like capitals creates a dynamic, collage-like tone in mixed-case settings.
