A rough, hand-rendered all-caps-and-lowercase style with jagged, brushlike strokes and visibly uneven contours. The letterforms show sharp terminals, occasional dry-brush gaps, and irregular stroke edges that create a torn-ink silhouette. Curves are chunky and sometimes faceted, while straight strokes wobble slightly, giving a lively, imperfect rhythm. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, contributing to an intentionally unpolished texture across words and lines.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, event promos, album/playlist artwork, zines, and expressive packaging where texture is a feature. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but extended body copy may feel visually noisy due to the heavy distressed detailing.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY energy—more punk flyer than polished editorial. Its aggressive, scratchy marks and uneven rhythm feel urgent and expressive, suggesting hand-painted signage or quick marker/brush lettering used for impact rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, forceful brush or marker lettering with deliberate wear and ink breakup, prioritizing attitude and texture over uniformity. Its variable shapes and rough edges are geared toward creating a handmade, rebellious look in contemporary display typography.
In running text, the distressed edges accumulate into a strong overall texture, so it reads best when given room to breathe. Rounded characters (like O/0) appear heavily worked and inked, while diagonals and spikes (like V/W/X/Y) emphasize the font’s sharp, energetic character.
