A condensed, heavy display face with a hand-drawn, cut-out feel. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, but edges are visibly ragged with ink-like bite marks and slight waviness that creates a textured silhouette. Counters are compact and sometimes irregular, and joins show subtle wobble rather than geometric precision. Spacing and widths vary modestly from glyph to glyph, producing a lively rhythm while maintaining a consistent vertical stance.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, cover art, labels, and packaging where texture is an asset. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but the rough edges and tight interiors may reduce clarity at small sizes or in long passages.
The font reads loud, scrappy, and tactile—like stamped lettering or quickly brushed poster type. Its imperfect outlines add an informal, DIY energy that can feel gritty yet humorous, emphasizing impact over refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver bold impact with an intentionally imperfect, hand-crafted surface. Its condensed proportions maximize presence in tight spaces while the distressed edges add character and a tactile, print-like attitude.
All-caps forms feel especially tall and narrow, with strong vertical emphasis and compact bowls. Lowercase retains the same rugged texture, and numerals match the condensed, punchy proportions, making mixed text visually cohesive.
