A heavy, irregular display face with chiseled, ragged contours and uneven ink spread throughout. Strokes are chunky and compact, with occasional nicks and bite-like cutouts along edges that create a gritty silhouette. Counters tend to be small and sometimes partially closed by the distressed texture, while curves and diagonals show jittery, broken outlines rather than smooth geometry. Overall spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a handmade, worn-print impression in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to short headlines and impactful display settings such as posters, cover art, title cards, and promotional graphics where a gritty texture adds character. It can work for themed branding or packaging that wants an intentionally worn, stamped, or photocopied aesthetic, but is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text.
The font conveys a rough, rebellious tone—more battered poster and DIY zine than polished typography. Its distressed texture reads as worn, gritty, and energetic, suggesting age, friction, and imperfect reproduction.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed printing or eroded lettering, prioritizing texture and attitude over clean precision. Its uneven contours and variable rhythm aim to inject grit and immediacy into headline typography.
At text sizes, the internal erosion and tight counters can reduce clarity, especially in letters with small openings; it performs best when given enough size and contrast for the rough edges to remain legible. The texture is consistent across the alphabet and numerals, creating a cohesive ‘degraded ink’ look across lines of copy.
