A heavy display face built from chunky, compact letterforms with strongly irregular, torn-looking contours. Strokes appear brushy and ink-saturated, with frequent nicks, notches, and uneven terminals that create a worn print texture. Counters are small and sometimes partially closed or lumpy, while curves are simplified into rough, organic shapes. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally unrefined, hand-printed rhythm.
Best suited to high-impact applications like posters, title treatments, album/merch graphics, and event flyers where texture and attitude are desirable. It works well for short headlines, logos, or badges on light backgrounds, and can add character to packaging or social graphics that lean toward gritty or edgy themes.
The font projects a gritty, aggressive tone with a distressed, underground feel. Its rough edges and blotchy texture suggest aged posters, DIY flyers, or horror and punk aesthetics where rawness is part of the message.
The design appears intended to emulate distressed, hand-inked lettering with a deliberately rough printing artifact. Its goal is to deliver immediate visual punch and a tactile, worn surface rather than typographic neutrality or long-form readability.
The distressed texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive “ink dragged on paper” look. The overall silhouette stays readable in short bursts, but the tight counters and heavy texture make it feel more expressive than neutral at smaller sizes.
