A chunky, slanted sans with compact counters and forceful silhouettes, built from heavy strokes and simplified forms. The letterforms are irregular and lively, with roughened edges and scattered interior erosion that mimics scuffed ink or abraded print. Spacing and widths vary across glyphs, creating an uneven rhythm that reads intentional and expressive, especially in all-caps settings.
Best suited to display work where texture and attitude are part of the message: posters, event promos, album/playlist art, streetwear branding, skate or punk-adjacent graphics, game titles, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short headlines, stickers, or social graphics where the distressed details can be appreciated at larger sizes.
This font projects a loud, energetic tone with a gritty, worn-in attitude. The distressed texture adds a sense of rebellion and handmade immediacy, making the overall voice feel rough, punchy, and playful rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact at a glance while carrying a tactile, worn texture that feels printed and handled. Its slant and uneven detailing suggest an expressive display face meant to communicate personality and edge more than neutrality or precision.
The distressing is consistent across the set, with speckled voids and rough contours that can reduce clarity at small sizes or low contrast. Numerals and lowercase carry the same worn treatment, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive while retaining an intentionally uneven, hand-printed texture.
