A heavy, block-based display face with compact proportions and deliberately irregular contours. The strokes are chunky and uneven, with jagged, chipped edges and occasional interior voids that feel like worn ink or torn paper. Corners are mostly squared-off but softened by rough distortion, and counters are small and sometimes partially broken, creating a strong, dark texture. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, producing a handmade, imperfect rhythm that reads more like stamped or distressed lettering than a clean geometric sans.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, band or album artwork, event flyers, and bold packaging or label design where texture is desired. It can also suit apparel graphics and signage that benefits from a rugged, worn-in look, especially when used at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and tough, suggesting wear, abrasion, and physical texture. It conveys a raw, no-frills attitude with a slightly retro, poster-and-print-shop energy—bold and attention-seeking rather than refined or neutral.
Likely designed to deliver a forceful display voice with built-in texture, simulating aged printing, rough stamping, or eroded surfaces. The irregular outlines and broken counters appear intended to add character and atmosphere without needing additional effects.
At larger sizes the distressed details become a key feature, while at smaller sizes the rough edges and tight counters can merge into dense shapes. The numerals and capitals carry the strongest presence, with an intentionally inconsistent silhouette across the set that enhances the distressed character.
