A heavy, blocky display face with simple underlying skeletons that are aggressively distressed. The letterforms have broad, confident strokes and mostly geometric curves, but their edges are interrupted by jagged chips and bite-like notches that create uneven contours. The distressing is applied consistently across the set, typically clustering along one side or at key corners, producing a lively, irregular silhouette while keeping counters and primary shapes readable. Uppercase forms feel compact and poster-like; lowercase maintains a straightforward, sturdy construction with minimal delicacy.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, attention-grabbing headlines, game or entertainment titles, and bold packaging callouts. It’s effective when you want instant character and texture without additional graphic treatment, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is unruly and mischievous—like a bold headline face that’s been scratched, torn, or gnawed for effect. It reads as energetic and intentionally imperfect, bringing a sense of noisy fun with a slightly aggressive, rebellious edge.
This font appears designed to take a straightforward bold display foundation and inject personality through systematic chipping and tearing. The goal seems to be creating a one-off, statement-making face that feels handmade, damaged, or disrupted while remaining legible for punchy display use.
The texture effect creates strong negative-space spikes and nicks that can visually fill in at smaller sizes, so the face performs best when its distressed details have room to show. The strong black mass and simplified forms help it hold together even with the heavy surface damage.
