A heavy, condensed display face with blunt silhouettes and aggressively irregular contours. Strokes look brush- or marker-built, with chiseled terminals, torn edges, and intermittent nicks that create a worn, printed texture. Counters are tight and sometimes lopsided, producing a compact, forceful rhythm; widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, adding an improvised, hand-cut feel. Numerals and capitals share the same rugged construction, keeping a consistent distressed voice across the set.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, album or zine covers, gig and festival promotions, apparel graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It performs well in short headlines, titles, and badges where its rough texture becomes a feature rather than a distraction.
The font projects a loud, gritty attitude—more street-poster than polished branding. Its rough texture and uneven edges evoke DIY graphics, underground music flyers, and weathered signage, giving text an urgent, confrontational energy.
The design appears intended to mimic rough brush lettering and degraded print, delivering maximum impact through dense black shapes and deliberate imperfections. Its condensed proportions and gritty texture suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display typography with a rebellious, handmade character.
At text sizes the distressed detailing can thicken and close small apertures, so it reads best when given room to breathe. The irregular edges also create strong texture blocks in all-caps settings, making it effective for short, punchy statements rather than long passages.
