A heavy, slanted display face with chunky, rounded letterforms and uneven, roughened contours. Strokes appear brushy and pressure-like, with soft bulges and nicks that create a worn, ink-smeared silhouette rather than crisp corners. Counters are generally compact and irregular, and terminals tend to end in torn, tapering wedges. Overall spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, giving the line a lively, hand-rendered rhythm while maintaining a solid, poster-weight texture.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, event flyers, headline treatments, album art, packaging, and merchandise graphics. It works especially well when you want a rugged, handmade tone and can give it room to breathe at larger sizes.
The font projects a loud, gritty energy with a playful, slightly unruly attitude. Its rough edges and swollen strokes suggest DIY printing, zine culture, or vintage comic titling, making it feel bold, informal, and attention-seeking rather than refined.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with an intentionally imperfect, worn texture and a forward-leaning, energetic posture. The goal appears to be strong shelf-and-scroll stopping power with a handcrafted, rough-print personality.
The distressed texture is built into the outlines, so the black mass stays prominent even at smaller sizes, while the edge detail becomes more noticeable as size increases. The figures match the same inky, irregular construction, reading best in short bursts where their chunky shapes can dominate.
