A heavy display face with chunky, rounded silhouettes and aggressively irregular contours. Strokes appear as solid ink masses with chewed, torn-looking edges and occasional interior nicks, creating a worn print texture. The alphabet reads mostly as simplified, blocky forms with soft corners, loose counters, and slightly uneven widths that introduce a handmade rhythm. Terminals are blunt and ragged rather than crisp, and curves often look lumpy or melted, reinforcing the distressed, tactile finish.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture is part of the message—posters, event flyers, album or game titles, and branded graphics that want a gritty handmade feel. It also works well on packaging or labels when paired with simple supporting type and ample whitespace.
The overall tone is gritty and unruly, evoking underground flyers, rough rubber-stamp lettering, and weathered signage. Its texture leans toward eerie and menacing when set large, but can also feel playful in a gross-out, comic-horror way due to the rounded, blobby construction.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold headline presence while simulating damaged ink, worn cuts, or rough printing. By keeping letterforms relatively simple and inflated, it preserves recognizability while letting the distressed edges carry the personality.
At text sizes the rough perimeter becomes a dominant feature, so legibility depends on generous sizing and spacing. The distressed edge treatment is fairly consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving headings a cohesive, deliberately imperfect voice.
