A rough, hand-rendered display face with thick strokes and visibly uneven edges, as if painted with a dry brush or stamped with imperfect inking. Letterforms are generally upright with irregular stroke boundaries, occasional interior scuffs, and small voids that create a worn, textured silhouette. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, giving the set a loosely drawn rhythm, while counters tend to be compact and often slightly irregular. The overall texture reads strongly at larger sizes, with distinctive, imperfect terminals and a lively, slightly shaky baseline impression in running text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where texture and personality are the goal—posters, event flyers, album/mixtape art, zines, and packaging accents. It also works well for punchy pull quotes or label-style badges when set with generous size and breathing room.
The font conveys an energetic, gritty tone that feels DIY and street-made, mixing humor with a bit of abrasion. Its rough ink texture suggests posters, zines, and handmade signage rather than polished corporate typography.
Likely designed to emulate imperfect ink on paper—handmade lettering with a deliberately distressed surface—delivering a bold, attention-grabbing voice for themed and expressive display typography.
The distressed texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “printed-worn” look. Spacing and widths appear intentionally irregular, which adds character but can reduce smoothness in longer passages, especially at smaller sizes where texture can thicken or fill in.
