A heavy, all-caps-forward display face with irregular, eroded contours and a consistently rough perimeter that reads like ink spread, worn stamping, or distressed cut-paper edges. Strokes are thick and compact with slightly uneven terminals and frequent nicks that create a lively, broken silhouette. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, while curves and joins remain simplified and robust, keeping letterforms stable even with the texture. Overall spacing feels intentionally a bit uneven, reinforcing the handmade, imperfect rhythm.
Well suited for posters, bold headlines, and short bursts of copy where a distressed, high-impact look is desirable. It can also work effectively on packaging, labels, and album or show artwork that benefits from an analog, worn-print attitude. For body copy, use larger sizes and ample spacing to keep the rough texture from closing in.
The font projects a gritty, analog tone with a loud, attention-grabbing presence. Its roughened edges and blotchy texture suggest urgency and impact, leaning into a raw, street-level or DIY sensibility rather than polished refinement.
Likely designed to deliver a strong display voice with an intentionally weathered, imperfect finish. The goal appears to be combining sturdy, simple letterforms with an aggressive distressed treatment to evoke printed wear and handmade production.
In longer text, the texture becomes the dominant feature, producing strong color and a busy surface; it reads best with generous leading and moderate tracking. Numerals and capitals feel particularly suited to headline use, where the distressed silhouette can be appreciated without overwhelming legibility.
