A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, torn-looking edges and occasional nicks that create a worn, cut-paper impression. Letterforms are built from broad strokes with rounded counters and uneven terminals, producing a lively, slightly lopsided rhythm. Curves are generously inflated (notably in O/C/G), while many straights end in chipped wedges, giving the alphabet a hand-shaped, distressed consistency. The texture is built into the silhouettes rather than through shading, keeping the overall color dense and highly graphic.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, album/cover graphics, event flyers, headlines, and punchy packaging callouts. It works well anywhere a gritty, handmade texture can carry the message, especially when set with ample size and spacing to preserve the distressed edges.
The font projects a loud, scrappy energy—part street-poster, part DIY band flyer. Its roughened contours and bouncy shapes feel mischievous and rebellious, with an intentionally imperfect, handmade attitude that reads as energetic rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a built-in rough texture, evoking worn printing and torn edges while keeping the letterforms bold and readable. Its exaggerated weight and irregular contouring suggest a focus on expressive display typography for attention-grabbing, themed graphics.
At larger sizes the distressed detailing is clear and characterful; at smaller sizes the internal nicks and uneven joins may visually fill in or blur together due to the dense stroke weight. The numerals share the same chunky, weathered construction, maintaining a consistent texture across the set.
