A condensed, right-slanted display face with heavy, compact letterforms and slightly uneven widths across the set. Strokes show roughened, chipped edges and occasional interior breaks that create a distressed, almost stenciled texture. Counters are tight and oval, terminals are abrupt, and joins can appear spiky or torn, giving the shapes an intentionally imperfect, hand-worn finish. The overall rhythm is energetic and compressed, with strong vertical emphasis and a textured silhouette that remains legible at larger sizes.
Best for posters, bold headlines, and punchy branding where a rough, high-energy texture is desirable. It fits well on album covers, event flyers, merch graphics, and packaging accents, especially when the design calls for a worn, DIY print vibe. Use at medium-to-large sizes to preserve the distressed details and avoid crowding.
The font projects a loud, rebellious attitude with a gritty, street-poster feel. Its distressed slant reads as fast, aggressive, and a bit mischievous—more about impact and character than polish. The overall tone sits comfortably in alternative, DIY, and tongue-in-cheek contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while adding a distressed, irregular layer for attitude. Its slanted stance and worn edges suggest a deliberate move toward expressive, one-off display typography that feels printed, scuffed, and lively.
The distressing is consistent enough to feel deliberate rather than accidental, but the edge damage and small notches can fill in at smaller sizes or in low-contrast reproduction. The narrow proportions and tight spacing tendencies make it best suited to short bursts of text where the texture can breathe.
