A heavy, slanted display face with broad, chunky letterforms and irregular, distressed contours. Strokes are largely monoline, with softened corners and occasional bulges that create a slightly blobby silhouette. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and terminals often look torn or worn, as if from rough printing or a dry brush. Spacing is compact and the overall rhythm is energetic rather than strictly uniform, with noticeable shape variability from glyph to glyph.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, packaging accents, stickers, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for entertainment and event promotion where a rough, printed look is desirable, especially when set large with generous tracking.
The font conveys a gritty, mischievous tone—part comic-book punch, part DIY poster. Its rough texture and aggressive weight read as loud and playful, with a slightly rebellious, underground feel. The slant adds urgency and motion, amplifying the impact in short phrases.
Likely designed to deliver an instant distressed, ink-smeared display look without additional texture effects, combining a bold, slanted structure with worn edges for maximum attitude and immediacy.
In text lines, the distressed edges create a consistent texture field, but the dense weight and tight apertures can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals and uppercase forms read especially bold and attention-seeking, while lowercase retains the same rugged, inked character.
