A heavy, all-caps-forward display face with rough, torn contours and uneven, ink-blot edges that make each letterform feel stamped or eroded. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline in impression, but the outlines wobble and break subtly, creating irregular counters and occasional speckled notches. Terminals tend to be blunt and splintered rather than cleanly cut, and curves look slightly flattened and lumpy, contributing to an intentionally unrefined rhythm across text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture is an asset: posters, title cards, album/EP artwork, event flyers, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for logos and wordmarks that want a roughened, printed feel, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The texture reads gritty and confrontational, with a DIY, underground tone that leans toward suspense and menace. Its distressed surface suggests worn posters, screen-printed merch, or aged packaging, giving headlines an urgent, imperfect energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through mass and texture, evoking worn printing and torn edges rather than precision. It prioritizes atmosphere and attitude over neutrality, aiming to make even simple words feel gritty and tactile.
Uppercase letters carry strong presence and hold together well as a block, while lowercase adds a scruffier, more characterful texture in running lines. The numerals match the same battered silhouette, keeping a consistent stamped look across alphanumerics.
