A heavy, all-caps-friendly display face with thick, blunt strokes and noticeably rough, irregular contours. Terminals look torn or brush-dabbed rather than clean-cut, producing uneven edges and slightly lumpy silhouettes. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, and round forms (O, C, G, 0) read as bold, inked blobs with organic variation. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with single-storey forms and minimal detail, keeping texture and mass consistent across the set.
Best suited for display settings where texture is a feature: posters, headlines, album/merch graphics, packaging, and punchy social or event promos. It performs well at medium-to-large sizes where the rough edges and compact counters remain legible and contribute to the intended character.
The overall tone feels gritty and handmade, like letters stamped, painted, or printed with imperfect ink coverage. Its casual irregularity also adds a playful, unruly energy that suits loud, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic bold lettering made through imperfect analog processes—brush paint, worn stamps, or rough screen printing—while keeping familiar letterforms for quick recognition. It prioritizes impact and texture over precision, delivering a strong visual voice with an intentionally raw finish.
Spacing and rhythm appear intentionally uneven in feel, with subtle per-glyph shape variance that enhances the distressed texture. Numerals match the same weight and roughness, maintaining a cohesive, rugged color in text.
