A compact, heavy display face built from chunky letterforms with rough, chipped contours and uneven interior counters. Strokes feel brushy and distressed, with frequent nicks, flats, and ragged edges that mimic worn printing or dry-ink application. The silhouette is generally straight and vertical, but widths and details vary from glyph to glyph, creating a restless rhythm across words. Terminals are blunt and irregular, and the texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications such as posters, flyers, packaging callouts, and branding moments that benefit from a distressed, tactile stamp or brush-print look. It performs well as headlines, titles, and logo-style wordmarks where the rough texture can be appreciated at display sizes.
The overall tone is loud and gritty, with an unapologetically handmade attitude. Its distressed texture suggests street ephemera and rugged, high-energy messaging rather than refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately weathered, hand-inked finish, prioritizing character and texture over smooth precision. Its inconsistent edges and lively rhythm are geared toward expressive display typography that feels printed, worn, and immediate.
At larger sizes the broken edges and interior scuffs become a key feature; at smaller sizes the texture can visually fill in counters and reduce clarity. Capitals read especially forceful, while the lowercase maintains the same roughness, keeping the voice consistent across mixed-case settings.
