A heavy, hand-drawn display face with uneven, brush-like strokes and an energetic rightward slant. Letterforms are built from thick black shapes that are repeatedly notched and carved by irregular inner channels, creating a cut-out, inline-like look that varies from glyph to glyph. Edges wobble and taper unpredictably, counters are often compressed or broken, and curves show blotchy buildup alongside sharp, torn-looking terminals. Widths and sidebearings fluctuate, giving words a jittery rhythm and an intentionally unstable texture across a line of text.
Best suited to short, bold messaging where texture is a feature: posters, album and playlist artwork, streetwear branding, skate or music-event flyers, and punchy packaging callouts. It can also work for headlines in editorial layouts that want a gritty, handmade contrast to cleaner body text.
The overall tone is raw and rebellious, with a DIY, zine-like attitude. Its distressed interior cut lines add a sense of motion and abrasion, suggesting noise, urgency, and grit rather than refinement or calm. The slanted stance and ragged contours push it toward expressive, high-impact communication.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum personality through distressed, carved-in strokes—combining a bold silhouette with irregular inline cutouts to create a loud, handmade display voice. The goal seems to be expressive impact and tactile texture, prioritizing attitude and visual noise over uniformity.
In running text, the irregular spacing and varying internal cutouts create a lively color but reduce predictability at smaller sizes. Round letters like O and Q read as chunky rings with disrupted interiors, while straight-sided capitals and numerals lean into a chiseled, marker-slashed texture that feels intentionally imperfect.
