A compact, all-caps–friendly distressed face with irregular, bitten edges and uneven stroke texture that mimics worn ink or degraded printing. Letterforms are mostly upright with a narrow set, medium contrast, and subtly inconsistent stroke widths that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and openings can pinch in smaller sizes, while terminals often end in blunt, broken-looking cuts. The lowercase carries a short x-height with tall, simple ascenders and descenders, and numerals follow the same roughened, slightly wobbly construction for a unified texture across the set.
Best suited to display applications where texture is an asset: posters, cover art, title cards, packaging accents, and gritty branding moments. It works well for short headlines, logos, and punchy callouts, and can add atmosphere to entertainment contexts like games and films when used at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The overall tone is gritty and utilitarian, with a handmade, weather-beaten feel that suggests age, abrasion, and friction. It reads as bold in attitude rather than weight, evoking DIY signage, rough stamping, or distressed poster lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver a convincingly worn, printed-from-a-damaged-block look while remaining legible and structured. Its narrow proportions and consistent distress treatment aim to create a cohesive, high-impact texture across lines of text.
Spacing appears irregular by design, and the distressed contouring introduces speckled silhouettes that can create natural variation across repeated letters. The texture becomes a defining feature at display sizes, while at smaller sizes the rough edges may reduce clarity in dense text blocks.
