A heavy, brushy all-caps and lowercase with jagged, worn edges and visibly irregular contours, as if stamped or painted and then abraded. Strokes swell and taper unpredictably, with rough terminals and occasional nicks that create a textured silhouette. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and overall spacing and letter widths vary, producing a lively, hand-rendered rhythm rather than a mechanically consistent one.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are desirable: posters, album/playlist artwork, event flyers, game titles, and packaging or labels that want a rough, analog vibe. It can also work for short quotes, badges, or social graphics where the distressed edges read as intentional style. For long text or small sizes, the dense strokes and rough counters may reduce clarity, so pairing with a simpler companion font is recommended.
This font projects a raw, handmade energy with a slightly chaotic, street-level attitude. The distressed texture and uneven rhythm give it a gritty, rebellious tone that can feel playful in short bursts but quickly turns intense and dramatic at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect, tactile lettering—like paint or ink applied quickly and worn through use—while keeping forms recognizable enough for punchy headlines. Its deliberate irregularities suggest a focus on character and impact over refinement, trading smooth geometry for a textured, human feel.
The uppercase has a compact, blocky presence, while the lowercase maintains the same distressed treatment and irregular stroke behavior, creating a cohesive hand-painted look across cases. Numerals share the same worn texture and varying widths, reinforcing the organic, non-uniform color on the page.
