A heavy, brushy text face with irregular, torn-looking edges and a slightly forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and low-contrast, with visible wobble and ink spread that creates uneven terminals and occasional lumps or nicks along outlines. Letterforms are mostly upright-print in structure but rendered with a dry-brush/rough-print texture that produces inconsistent stroke widths and a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters stay fairly open for a distressed style, while curves (C, O, G, S) show pronounced roughness and chunky joins.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/playlist artwork, apparel graphics, event promos, and packaging where texture is an asset. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but extended body copy will benefit from generous size and leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, evoking rough printing, marker/brush lettering, and worn poster type. It feels energetic and informal, with a raw edge that reads as rebellious, outdoorsy, or punk-adjacent rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to simulate bold hand-painted or rough-printed lettering, prioritizing texture and attitude over mechanical precision. Its irregular edges and inky buildup suggest a deliberate distressed treatment aimed at creating an immediate, tactile presence.
Spacing appears moderately loose in the sample text, helping the rugged edges avoid clogging, though the texture can soften fine details at smaller sizes. The numerals and uppercase carry the same blotchy, uneven contouring, keeping a consistent distressed voice across the set.
