A compact, heavy display face with an upright stance and irregular, brush-like contours. Strokes are thick with noticeable internal chipping and ragged edge breakup that suggests dragged ink or distressed cutting. Counters are often partially closed or unevenly opened, and curves show intermittent notches and bite marks rather than smooth geometry. Width varies by glyph, with a lively, slightly inconsistent rhythm that reads intentional and illustrative rather than purely mechanical.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display settings such as posters, event promos, packaging callouts, and title treatments for games or entertainment. It performs well at medium to large sizes where the rough detailing can be appreciated, and works particularly well when paired with simpler text faces for supporting copy.
The overall tone is gritty and mischievous, balancing a tough, DIY attitude with a cartoonish energy. Its distressed texture and choppy terminals evoke zines, street posters, and genre signage where imperfection is part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact display voice with built-in texture, mimicking worn printing or expressive brushwork to add instant character without additional effects.
The distressing is integrated into both outer silhouettes and inner spaces, creating a textured fill that becomes more pronounced as sizes increase. Spiky terminals and uneven joins add movement, while the dense black mass keeps the font visually assertive in short bursts.
