A heavy, all-caps–friendly display face with irregular, eroded outlines and uneven internal counters that mimic rough printing or painted letterforms. Strokes stay generally sturdy but wobble in width, with rounded corners and small nicks that create a mottled silhouette. Proportions are compact with fairly short extenders in the lowercase, and spacing feels slightly tight, producing dense word shapes. Numerals and capitals share the same distressed texture, keeping the set visually consistent across letters and figures.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, titles, event graphics, album/cover art, and packaging where a distressed texture is desirable. It can also support themed branding or signage when used with generous sizing and comfortable tracking to preserve legibility.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, suggesting wear, noise, and tactile ink on paper. It reads as informal and energetic, with a slightly ominous, vintage-poster edge that suits dramatic or rebellious messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, distressed voice with consistent texture across the alphabet and numerals, prioritizing atmosphere and materiality over precision. Its forms aim to feel printed, worn, or hand-rendered while remaining recognizable in bold, display-oriented settings.
At larger sizes the texture becomes a key feature, while at smaller sizes the rough edges and partially filled counters can reduce clarity, especially in tight copy. The irregular rhythm gives each word a stamped, imperfect character rather than a clean typographic cadence.
