A heavy, inked display face with visibly roughened outlines and irregular interior counters, as if stamped, dry-brushed, or printed on absorbent stock. Strokes stay broadly upright but waver in thickness, with jagged edges, occasional nicks, and small blobs that create a worn, organic texture. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed in feel, with simplified, blocky forms and inconsistent widths that add a cut-and-printed rhythm across words and lines. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, while numerals and caps share the same distressed, hand-pressed character.
Best suited to display applications where texture is part of the message: posters, gig and event flyers, album or podcast cover typography, apparel graphics, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging accents when paired with a cleaner companion for body text.
The overall tone is gritty and high-impact, suggesting DIY print culture, rough posters, and distressed signage. It reads as intentionally imperfect and tactile, projecting a raw, rebellious energy while remaining broadly legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver bold readability while embedding a distressed, analog-print texture directly into the letterforms. Its uneven edges and blotchy counters suggest a deliberately worn, handmade process meant to evoke grit and physicality rather than precision.
The texture is consistent across the set, so large areas of text build a strong dark color with a lively, broken edge. Smaller sizes may lose clarity where counters and joins fill in, especially in letters with tight internal spaces.
