A rough, all-caps-forward display face with chunky strokes and noticeably irregular, torn-looking edges. Letterforms are built from simplified, somewhat angular structures with uneven stroke terminals and occasional inward notches that suggest dry-brush or distressed printing. Counters are compact and often squarish, and curves tend to be flattened into faceted arcs. Spacing and glyph widths vary slightly, reinforcing an intentionally inconsistent, handcrafted rhythm across text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the distressed edges can read clearly—posters, gig flyers, album/cover art, streetwear graphics, bold packaging callouts, and title cards. It can work for subheads or short paragraphs when set large with comfortable tracking and line spacing, but it’s most effective as a display accent rather than for small-size reading.
The font projects a gritty, DIY attitude with a mischievous, rebellious edge. Its distressed texture reads as energetic and imperfect, evoking zine culture, low-fi posters, and handmade signage. In longer lines it feels lively and bold rather than refined, with a strong sense of urgency and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate, tactile impact through deliberate roughness and uneven ink-like behavior. By combining simplified blocky structures with distressed contours, it aims to feel handmade and expressive while remaining legible in bold display settings.
Uppercase forms feel more dominant and stable, while lowercase shows more idiosyncratic shapes and narrower proportions. Numerals share the same rough perimeter and blocky construction, keeping the overall palette cohesive. The texture becomes a key visual feature, so the face benefits from generous size and contrast to keep interiors from filling in.
