A heavy display face with compact proportions, strong vertical stress, and sharp, wedge-like terminals. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with torn-looking notches, chipped corners, and occasional interior bites that break up the silhouettes without fully compromising the counters. Curves are robust and slightly flattened, while joins and serifs read as angular slabs, giving the letters a carved, poster-cut feel. Spacing appears fairly tight in text, with uneven visual texture driven by the distressed detailing rather than large baseline or slant variation.
Best suited to large sizes where the distressed cuts and sharp terminals can read clearly—posters, album or game titles, packaging, and punchy editorial headlines. It can work for short bursts of text or pull quotes, but the rough detailing and dense color make it less ideal for long body copy or small UI settings.
The overall tone feels gritty and energetic, like weathered lettering pulled from old posters or printed ephemera. Its rough edges add attitude and a sense of motion, balancing a classic blocky backbone with a mischievous, slightly chaotic finish.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing voice with a deliberately worn, printed-through-grit character. The consistent distress pattern across letters and numerals suggests it was built to evoke tactile, analog texture while staying structurally sturdy for impactful display typography.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest presence and the most dramatic corner damage, while lowercase remains bold and compact with clearly differentiated bowls and stems. Numerals match the same chipped, cut-out treatment, keeping the set visually consistent for headlines and short statements.
