A heavy, compact display face with chunky letterforms and strongly irregular, torn-looking contours. Strokes are broad and mostly monoline in feel, with wobbly edges and occasional notches that suggest worn print or rough stamping. Counters are small and sometimes lumpy, and terminals tend to end in blunt, softened corners rather than crisp cuts. Spacing and silhouette widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the set a lively, uneven rhythm while remaining legible at headline sizes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and title treatments where a strong black shape and rough texture can do the branding work. It can also be effective on packaging, labels, and promotional graphics that want a rugged, handmade feel, and for entertainment contexts like game titles or album art where attitude matters more than typographic polish.
The overall tone is gritty and mischievous, combining a handmade roughness with a bold, attention-grabbing presence. It reads as informal and slightly chaotic, with a comic-horror or punk-poster energy that feels intentionally imperfect and tactile.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display impact while injecting a worn, irregular surface—like ink spread, battered wood type, or distressed stencil printing. The goal is to add character and tactility to short text, prioritizing personality and texture over smooth, refined outlines.
Uppercase forms lean toward blocky display shapes with bulging sides, while lowercase retains similar mass and texture, keeping the voice consistent across cases. Numerals match the same distressed edge behavior and dark color, making the font feel cohesive for short bursts of text where texture is part of the message.
