A rough, inked display face with narrow proportions and an upright stance. Strokes are largely monolinear but visibly uneven, with ragged edges, occasional blobby buildup, and small interior nicks that mimic worn printing or a dry marker. Curves are slightly lumpy rather than geometric, terminals tend to end bluntly, and counters are irregular, giving the alphabet a lively, imperfect rhythm. Overall spacing feels compact, and the texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture is an asset: posters, gig and event graphics, album/playlist artwork, packaging labels, and bold headlines that need a gritty edge. It can also work for pull quotes or branding accents when paired with a cleaner text face for body copy.
The font communicates a gritty, handmade attitude—more punk flyer than polished editorial. Its distressed texture and jittery stroke behavior add urgency and a slightly mischievous, DIY character that reads as intentionally unrefined.
The design appears intended to simulate distressed, hand-rendered lettering with consistent readability while preserving a raw, imperfect surface. Its narrow build and compact rhythm suggest a goal of fitting emphatic copy into tight spaces without losing the expressive, worn-ink character.
Round letters like O/C/G show noticeable wobble and uneven counter shapes, while verticals in letters such as H/N/M appear slightly frayed, reinforcing a printed-from-a-worn-block feel. Numerals keep the same rough texture and compact stance, supporting cohesive mixed-type compositions.
