A condensed, heavy display face with brush-like strokes and aggressively irregular contours. Letterforms are built from chunky verticals with abrupt tapers and occasional bulbous swelling, creating a rhythm of thick masses punctuated by thin, scratchy joins. Edges look frayed and broken as if from dry-brush ink or distressed printing, with uneven counters and textured terminals. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the set a lively, imperfect baseline/sidebearing feel while remaining largely upright and readable at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the distressed texture can read clearly—posters, album/cover art, event flyers, and striking brand marks for edgy or alternative concepts. It can also work for packaging or apparel graphics when printed large enough to preserve its rough detail.
The overall tone is gritty and unruly, evoking DIY posters, underground flyers, and rough-painted signage. Its distressed ink texture and compressed silhouette add urgency and menace, making it feel dramatic, loud, and slightly chaotic.
Likely designed to capture the look of expressive hand-painted lettering and worn ink on paper, prioritizing attitude and texture over typographic neutrality. The condensed, dark silhouettes suggest an aim for high-impact display typography with a deliberately imperfect, analog finish.
Texture is a defining feature: many characters show internal blotting and rough cut-ins, so fills can close up at smaller sizes. The narrow build concentrates dark color, and the irregular stroke behavior makes repeated letters feel intentionally non-uniform.
