A heavy, poster-like sans with chunky strokes and aggressively roughened contours. Letterforms are broad and compact with simple, mostly monoline construction, but the edges break up into torn, brushy fragments and occasional ink-like voids that create a stamped/painted texture. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while terminals look scraped and uneven, producing a jittery silhouette and irregular rhythm across words. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same distressed treatment, with slightly bouncy baselines and inconsistent edge wear that reads as intentional texture rather than geometric precision.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as posters, album art, event flyers, packaging accents, and apparel graphics where the distressed surface can be appreciated. It performs well as a headline or logo-style display face, especially in designs aiming for a gritty, handmade aesthetic rather than clean readability at small sizes.
The font communicates a loud, rebellious tone with a DIY, street-level energy. Its distressed texture evokes worn print, brush paint, and rough-cut signage, giving headlines an urgent, gritty attitude that feels suited to edgy and high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through thick forms paired with deliberate wear, mimicking rough brush lettering or degraded print. Its purpose is to add texture and attitude quickly, turning simple letter shapes into a bold, tactile statement.
Texture is strong even at display sizes, with broken edges and occasional interior speckling that can visually fill in at smaller settings. Spacing appears fairly tight and massy, reinforcing a blocky, impactful color on the page, while the irregular perimeter adds motion and a slightly chaotic cadence.
