A heavy, compact display face with chunky forms and visibly roughened contours. Strokes are thick with intermittent nicks, chips, and ragged edges that mimic worn printing or dry-brush inking, creating a slightly broken silhouette without fully sacrificing legibility. Counters tend to be rounded and somewhat irregular, and terminals often end bluntly with occasional torn-looking protrusions. The overall rhythm is energetic and uneven, with subtle per-letter texture variations that read as intentional distress rather than sloppy construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, flyers, album/playlist artwork, event promotions, merch graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or section headers where a rugged, tactile texture is desirable, rather than for long-form body copy.
The font projects a gritty, handmade attitude—bold, noisy, and a little rebellious. Its distressed texture evokes ink-on-paper imperfections and gives headlines a poster-like immediacy with a slightly retro, street-level character.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a convincingly worn, inked texture—combining sturdy, readable letterforms with deliberate distress to suggest age, grit, and analog production.
Uppercase shapes feel blocky and assertive, while the lowercase introduces a friendlier, more casual tone; together they create a versatile display voice. The numerals share the same battered texture and strong presence, keeping emphasis consistent across mixed copy.
