A heavy, blocky display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and a distinctly handmade silhouette. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, but edges wobble and chip, creating a rough rhythm and uneven color across words. Counters are mostly collapsed or reduced to small slits and notches, giving many letters a solid, cut-out feel. The design reads as a compact slab-like structure with inconsistent terminals and slightly inconsistent widths that add to its raw, distressed texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, stickers, and expressive branding moments where texture is desirable. It works well in large sizes for titles and punchy phrases, and can add character to merchandise graphics or energetic event promotions.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, mixing cartoonish heft with a gritty, DIY roughness. It evokes a cut-paper, stamped, or distressed poster aesthetic—energetic, slightly chaotic, and intentionally unpolished.
The letterforms appear designed to prioritize personality and texture over refinement, using distressed contours and collapsed counters to create a bold, graphic stamp-like presence. The intent seems to be a novelty display style that delivers immediate impact and a handcrafted, rebellious vibe.
At text sizes the filled-in interiors and ragged edges create strong mass and texture, but fine details (like small notches and tiny openings) can visually merge, especially in tighter spacing. The numerals and capitals maintain the same rugged cut profile, helping headings feel consistent and emphatic.
