A heavy, all-caps-forward display face with jagged, broken contours and uneven stroke terminals that feel cut, chipped, or roughly printed. Letterforms are built from angular, blocky structures with noticeable interior notches and occasional hollowed highlights, producing a chiseled, high-ink look. Curves (C, O, G, Q) are faceted rather than smooth, and diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) read sharp and energetic. Spacing and sidebearings appear slightly irregular, reinforcing a handmade rhythm; numerals follow the same carved, distressed construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, album covers, event flyers, and title treatments where texture is an asset. It can also work for branding accents and packaging that benefits from a gritty, handmade feel; for longer passages, the rough edges and irregular rhythm are likely to become visually tiring.
The overall tone is raw and mischievous—like DIY poster lettering or a distressed stamp pulled from worn plates. It conveys urgency and attitude with a touch of cartoonish roughness, making it feel rebellious rather than refined.
The design appears intended to simulate distressed, hand-cut or rough-printed lettering—prioritizing character and texture over pristine geometry. Its faceted curves and chipped outlines suggest a deliberate “worn” aesthetic aimed at bold display settings.
Uppercase is the strongest voice, with compact, chunky silhouettes and prominent edge damage. Lowercase maintains the same rugged texture, with simple, sturdy forms and occasional asymmetry that reads intentional rather than accidental.
