A heavy, upright display face with aggressively irregular contours and a stamped-ink look. Strokes are thick but uneven, with frequent gouges, voids, and rough interior counters that suggest wear or broken printing. Letterforms lean toward simple, blocky structures, yet edges wobble and taper unpredictably, creating a variable, hand-pressed rhythm across a line. Spacing reads slightly erratic as the ragged silhouettes and uneven side bearings change the perceived width from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/track artwork, event flyers, game or film titling, and packaging that benefits from a gritty texture. It works well at larger sizes where the eroded details and inner breaks remain legible and contribute to the overall character.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, with a distressed, underground energy. Its coarse texture and blotchy interruptions evoke photocopied flyers, DIY signage, and ominous or macabre titling. The impression is loud, imperfect, and intentionally rough.
This font appears designed to deliver an intentionally degraded, ink-worn aesthetic while maintaining recognizable, sturdy letter structures. The goal is to add immediate texture and attitude—like a distressed stamp or rough print—without relying on additional graphic effects.
In longer text the texture accumulates quickly, producing a dense, noisy color that prioritizes impact over smooth readability. Numerals match the same distressed treatment, keeping a consistent, weathered voice across mixed content.
