A heavy, all-caps-forward Latin design with thick strokes and noticeably eroded contours. Letterforms are built from simple, sturdy structures—often slightly condensed within their cells—but rendered with irregular, torn-looking edges and occasional interior pitting that suggests worn ink or distressed printing. Curves are chunky and somewhat squared-off, counters are small to medium and inconsistently open, and stroke endings vary from blunt to frayed. Spacing feels lively and uneven, with minor width differences across glyphs contributing to an organic rhythm in words and lines.
This style fits best in display contexts where texture is part of the message: posters, album/mixtape art, event flyers, and punchy headlines. It also works for gritty title cards or short callouts where the distressed edges can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font communicates a gritty, raw tone—like ink dragged across rough paper or a battered stamp. Its texture reads as handmade and imperfect, giving text an aggressive, rebellious energy with a lo-fi, tactile presence.
The design appears intended to simulate worn, over-inked lettering with deliberate erosion and irregularity, prioritizing impact and atmosphere over precision. Its consistent distress pattern across glyphs suggests a controlled, repeatable texture meant to add edge and character to display typography.
Lowercase forms largely echo the uppercase construction, reinforcing a forceful, poster-like voice even in mixed-case settings. Numerals share the same distressed treatment and sturdy silhouettes, keeping a consistent texture across alphanumerics.
