A compact, heavy display face with chunky, brush-like strokes and visibly rough, broken edges. Letterforms are built from simplified, mostly straight-to-gently-curved shapes, with rounded corners and occasional ink-like bulges and notches that create a worn print effect. Counters tend to be small and irregular, terminals are blunt, and spacing feels lively rather than strictly mechanical, giving the line a slightly uneven rhythm. Numerals match the weight and texture, staying bold and highly graphic with the same distressed contours.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging accents, and album/merch graphics where texture is a feature. It performs especially well in short bursts—titles, pull quotes, labels, and signage—where the distressed edges can read clearly and add attitude.
The overall tone is raw and energetic, combining a handmade poster feel with a gritty, street-level attitude. It reads as informal and expressive—more about impact and personality than refinement—while still remaining legible at display sizes.
Likely designed to mimic thick marker or brush lettering that has been rough-printed or weathered, delivering a bold, gritty voice for contemporary, youth-oriented, or alternative branding. The simplified forms and deliberate distress prioritize instant recognition and a tactile, handmade impression.
The texture appears consistent across the alphabet, suggesting intentional distress rather than random degradation, and the irregular outlines help prevent large black areas from feeling overly flat. The bold massing and compact proportions make it visually loud, especially in all-caps or short phrases.
