A chunky, ink-heavy display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and soft, blunted terminals. Strokes wobble subtly and expand or pinch unpredictably, creating a hand-rendered, stamped feel rather than a geometric construction. Counters are small and sometimes uneven, with occasional nicks and intrusions along the inner shapes. The overall rhythm is intentionally inconsistent, with slightly varying character widths and a rugged silhouette that reads as distressed print.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, album/mixtape covers, game titles, and themed packaging. It can add character to labels, badges, and social graphics where texture and attitude are more important than long-form readability.
The font conveys a gritty, mischievous energy—like rough signage, spooky poster lettering, or a DIY zine headline. Its blotchy texture and jagged edges suggest wear, urgency, and a playful menace, making it feel more rebellious than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic rough brush or worn stamp lettering, prioritizing bold presence and a textured silhouette. Its controlled irregularities and compact counters suggest a deliberate effort to create a distressed display look that remains legible at headline sizes.
Uppercase forms are broad and blocky with simplified structure, while the lowercase stays stout and compact, reinforcing the heavy, hand-inked impression. Numerals share the same distressed treatment, with rounded masses and uneven edges that keep the set visually cohesive.
