A rugged, all-caps-forward display face with heavy, high-contrast strokes and strongly irregular, brush-like edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified, blocky construction, but widths and stroke terminals vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a deliberately inconsistent rhythm. Counters tend to be open and somewhat blobby, with occasional interior breaks and rough fill that suggest dry-brush or stamped ink. Numerals match the same distressed texture and uneven contours, keeping the set visually cohesive.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, album or podcast artwork, event flyers, game UI headings, and title cards where a distressed, tactile look is desired. It works well when paired with a clean sans or simple serif for body copy, using this face for headlines, pull quotes, and branding marks that benefit from grit and texture.
The overall tone feels gritty and energetic, with a DIY, distressed character that reads as loud and imperfect on purpose. Its jagged edges and ink-scuffed texture evoke urgency and attitude, leaning toward edgy, alternative, and horror-adjacent aesthetics without becoming fully illegible.
Likely designed to emulate rough brush lettering or worn print, prioritizing texture, attitude, and immediacy over smoothness and typographic regularity. The consistent distress treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures suggests a purposeful display font aimed at thematic, expressive applications.
Texture is a primary feature: many strokes show fraying, chipping, and scratch-like protrusions that will intensify at larger sizes and can close up at smaller sizes. The irregular stroke endings and occasional blotting give repeated letters a hand-rendered feel rather than mechanical repetition.
