A heavy, inked display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and visibly unstable stroke edges, as if stamped or printed on absorbent paper. Letterforms are compact and chunky with softened corners, uneven terminals, and occasional interior bites that create a worn silhouette. Counters are generally small and sometimes partially clogged, reinforcing a dense color on the page. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, giving lines of text a lively, slightly unruly rhythm.
This font works best at display sizes where the distressed edges and ink texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, album/cover art, and bold packaging accents. It can also add grit to short pull quotes or labels, but the dense counters and rough interiors make it less suitable for extended small-size body text.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, evoking photocopied flyers, battered rubber stamps, or distressed poster lettering. It reads as rebellious and tactile rather than polished, with a lived-in authenticity that feels underground and analog.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect, analog letterforms—like worn printing, stamped ink, or rough-cut signage—while keeping enough structure for quick recognition. It prioritizes texture and attitude over geometric precision, aiming to deliver a strong, weathered impact in titles and branding moments.
Uppercase shapes tend toward simple, blocky construction, while the lowercase introduces more personality through varied widths and slightly wobbling verticals. Numerals match the same roughened texture and heavy mass, keeping a consistent distressed voice across alphanumerics.
