A heavy, all-caps-forward display face with aggressively roughened outlines and uneven ink density. Strokes are thick and compact, with chipped edges, small bite marks, and occasional interior scuffing that suggests worn printing or dry-brush lettering. Curves are lumpy rather than smooth, counters are irregular, and terminals often look blunted or torn. Overall spacing feels slightly uneven, reinforcing the handmade rhythm while keeping letterforms broadly clear at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, punchy copy where the texture can be appreciated: posters, album/mixtape covers, gig flyers, streetwear graphics, and packaging accents. It works well as a headline or logo wordmark when used at larger sizes and with generous tracking to keep counters from closing up.
The font projects a gritty, rebellious energy—more DIY zine than polished branding. Its distressed texture reads loud and confrontational, with an underground, lo-fi tone that feels intentionally imperfect and tactile.
The design appears intended to emulate battered print, marker/brush lettering, or stamped ink with intentional wear—prioritizing attitude and tactile character over smooth precision. It aims to deliver instant impact and a DIY authenticity for themed display typography.
In longer lines of text, the rough texture builds a strong dark mass and can reduce clarity in smaller sizes, especially where counters narrow. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same distressed treatment, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
