A heavy, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with chunky silhouettes and intentionally irregular outlines. Strokes appear as dense, solid masses with soft corners and torn-looking edges, creating a stamped/inked texture rather than clean geometry. Counters are largely collapsed, so letters read as bold shapes with occasional notches and shallow bites defining interior structure. Proportions are broad with a tall lowercase presence, and spacing/widths vary to keep an uneven, handmade rhythm across words.
Well-suited to posters, splashy headlines, merch, and cover art where a bold, distressed impact is desirable. It can also work for playful spooky or punk-leaning branding elements, stickers, and social graphics, especially when set with generous tracking and short line lengths.
The overall tone is rowdy and tactile—more like cut paper, sponge stamp, or smeared ink than polished type. It feels playful and mischievous, with a gritty DIY character that suggests noise, motion, and imperfection rather than precision.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect, physical mark-making—like a quick stamp, cutout, or rough brush fill—favoring expressive silhouette over interior detail. By collapsing counters and embracing irregular edges, it aims for maximum visual punch and a deliberately unrefined, handcrafted personality.
Legibility relies on exterior contours and distinctive silhouettes, so it performs best at larger sizes where the rough edge detail reads as texture instead of blur. Numerals and punctuation share the same solid, eroded treatment, helping headings and short phrases keep a consistent, poster-like voice.
