A heavy, right-slanted display face with chunky, compact letterforms and visibly irregular contours. Strokes look brush-cut or hand-carved, with torn, jagged edges and occasional notches that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are generally rounded and tight, terminals are blunt, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy due to uneven curve tension and slightly inconsistent stroke endings across characters. Numerals match the letterforms with the same stout proportions and roughened perimeter, reinforcing a cohesive, handmade texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, product packaging, sticker-style graphics, and expressive logotypes. It works well when you want a bold, tactile look for entertainment, streetwear, or retro-themed branding, and it benefits from medium-to-large sizes where the rough edges can be appreciated.
The font conveys a loud, energetic tone—part comic, part vintage poster—with a gritty, DIY edge. Its slanted stance and rugged outlines add motion and attitude, making it feel informal, mischievous, and attention-seeking rather than refined or quiet.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-rendered, brushy lettering with a deliberately distressed finish, prioritizing character and punch over precision. Its slanted stance and chunky shapes are geared toward energetic display typography that feels handmade and slightly unruly.
At larger sizes the distressed perimeter reads as intentional texture, while at smaller sizes the nicks and roughness may visually fill in, especially in enclosed counters. The strongest impression comes from the silhouette and slant, so generous tracking and simpler backgrounds will help the texture remain legible.
