A heavy, hand-inked display face with uneven stroke edges, blobby terminals, and frequent ink-like buildup that collapses many counters into solid shapes. Letterforms are mostly upright but intentionally irregular, with jittery curves, inconsistent joins, and a rough perimeter that suggests torn paper or thick paint. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, creating a lurching rhythm that reads as expressive rather than systematic, while the overall silhouette stays compact and dark on the page.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact phrases on posters, flyers, covers, and merchandise where texture and attitude are desirable. It can work for themed packaging or branding that leans gritty or handmade, but should be used sparingly for extended reading due to its dense fill and rough edges.
The font projects a raw, gritty attitude—like stamped ink, DIY signage, or distressed print. Its dense blacks and ragged outlines give it a noisy, rebellious energy that feels tactile and imperfect, favoring character over polish.
The design appears intended to mimic thick, imperfect ink coverage—like a worn stamp, marker, or distressed screenprint—by emphasizing solid mass, irregular contours, and counter collapse. Its primary goal is expressive texture and punchy presence rather than typographic neutrality.
Because many interior openings are reduced or filled, differentiation relies on outer silhouettes and overall word shape; this increases visual impact but can reduce clarity at small sizes. The texture is consistent enough to hold together in short lines, but longer paragraphs accumulate a heavy, noisy color.
