A chunky, display-oriented sans with compact counters and uneven, torn-looking edges throughout. Strokes are heavy and blunt, with small interior openings that sometimes collapse into pinholes, creating a dense silhouette. Terminals and corners look irregular and slightly eroded, giving each glyph a stamped or ink-smeared feel while maintaining a clear, upright structure. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably from letter to letter, producing an intentionally uneven rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, flyers, packaging callouts, and branding that wants a rough, handmade edge. It can also work for album art, games, or themed promotions where a chunky silhouette and distressed contour add personality. Because counters are tight and forms are dense, it is most comfortable at display sizes rather than long passages.
The font reads loud and mischievous, with a gritty, handmade texture that feels more like a prop or headline lettering than a neutral text face. Its distressed contours suggest a DIY, underground, or spooky-fun mood—more playful than threatening, but clearly not polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual mass with an intentionally imperfect outline, mimicking worn stamps, cut paper, or ink-heavy printing. Its irregular widths and eroded edges trade typographic neutrality for character, aiming to make simple words feel loud, tactile, and slightly chaotic.
Capitals are blocky and assertive, and the lowercase keeps a sturdy, simplified construction that favors mass over detail. Numerals share the same heavy, irregular treatment, helping mixed alphanumeric settings stay visually consistent. The texture is embedded in the outlines rather than relying on fine grain, so the roughness stays legible at moderate display sizes.
