A heavy, inked display face with visibly rough, chipped contours and uneven stroke edges that read like dry-brush or worn printing. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified, blocky skeletons, but the stroke thickness wobbles and corners fracture into small nicks and hooks, creating a strong distressed texture. Counters are compact and sometimes irregular, with occasional blot-like joins and slightly inconsistent terminal shapes that emphasize a handmade rhythm over geometric precision.
Well suited to posters, flyers, and short, punchy headlines where texture and impact are more important than pristine typography. It can also work for album/playlist artwork, streetwear-style branding, labels, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, handcrafted feel.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY energy—loud, scrappy, and intentionally imperfect. Its rough texture adds urgency and attitude, landing somewhere between street-poster grit and expressive marker lettering, while still staying legible at headline sizes.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect ink on paper—either dry-brush strokes or degraded print—while keeping familiar letter structures for quick readability. The goal is a high-impact display voice with built-in character and grit, minimizing the need for added texture effects in layout.
Spacing appears relatively generous in the sample text, helping the rough edges stay readable. The texture is prominent enough that small sizes may fill in, but at display sizes it creates an expressive, tactile surface.
