A heavy, inked display face with irregular, eroded contours and occasional interior voids that read like worn printing or blotty brush strokes. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, but with frequent swelling and pinching that creates a lumpy, organic rhythm. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and joins look softened rather than crisp, giving letters a carved-out silhouette. The overall texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong, high-impact word shape at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its distressed texture can read clearly—posters, band/album artwork, themed event promotion, packaging accents, and punchy apparel graphics. It can also work for atmospheric title cards, provided sizes are generous and contrast against the background is strong.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade attitude—somewhere between rough screenprint, stamped lettering, and distressed marker. Its imperfect edges add energy and a slightly chaotic charm, balancing toughness with a quirky, informal voice.
The design appears intended to mimic worn, over-inked, or roughly applied lettering, prioritizing texture and personality over precision. Its goal is to deliver immediate impact and a tactile, analog feel that suggests age, grit, and handmade production.
Round forms like O/C/G and the bowls in B/P/R show the most visible pitting and edge breakup, which becomes a defining texture in continuous text. Spacing appears intentionally irregular, reinforcing the handmade impression and adding visual noise that can be used as a stylistic feature.
