A heavy display face with irregular, chipped contours and subtly uneven stroke edges that suggest worn printing or cutout letterforms. The silhouettes are compact and blocky with squarish counters and occasional pinched joins, creating a slightly lumpy rhythm across words. Terminals tend to break or notch rather than finish cleanly, and the shapes vary just enough from glyph to glyph to feel hand-formed while remaining clearly structured and upright.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, cover art, titles, and punchy headlines where the distressed texture can read clearly. It also fits themed packaging or signage that benefits from a worn, handmade voice; for longer passages, the rough edges may become visually busy at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and aggressive, with a vintage shock-poster energy. Its rough texture reads as gritty, rebellious, and a bit ominous, evoking DIY flyers, B-movie titles, and distressed signage.
The design appears intended to deliver strong display impact while embedding a built-in distressed texture, giving set type an instant gritty, aged character without additional effects. It balances recognizable, blocky letter structures with deliberate imperfections to project a raw, DIY personality.
In the sample text, the rough perimeter texture stays consistent at large sizes, where the broken edges become a key visual feature. The irregularities also introduce a natural sparkle along text lines, making it feel animated and tactile rather than smooth and modern.
