A heavy, block-based display face with compact counters and largely closed interior spaces, creating solid silhouettes. Letterforms are wide and squat with a tall x-height, short extenders, and a slightly uneven baseline and cap line feel. Edges look rough and torn, with asymmetric nicks and gouges that break the geometry and give each glyph a hand-cut, stamped texture. Strokes are thick throughout, with abrupt terminals and simplified joins that prioritize mass and impact over detail.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, album and merch graphics, event flyers, and bold packaging. It also works well for short slogans and emphasis lines where a rugged, distressed voice is desired and legibility can rely on size and spacing.
The font reads loud and rowdy, with a gritty, DIY attitude that evokes cut-paper signage, inked stamps, or distressed screenprint lettering. Its irregular texture adds humor and energy, leaning more punky and playful than refined or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with an intentionally imperfect, distressed surface—like lettering carved, cut, or stamped—so that the texture becomes part of the message. It aims to provide a strong, attention-grabbing headline voice with a raw, handmade character.
Because counters are minimized and openings are tight, smaller sizes and dense paragraphs can look dark and congested; the style performs best when given breathing room. The numerals match the same chunky, eroded construction, maintaining a consistent, poster-like color.
