A heavy display face with chunky, simplified letterforms and irregular, distressed contours. Strokes look brush-loaded and uneven, with jagged nicks and torn-looking terminals that create a noisy silhouette. Counters are generally open but often show rough interior scarring, and curves (like C, G, O) have lopsided, hand-worn edges. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive “rough print” rhythm while retaining clear, straightforward shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, cover art, and title treatments where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It works well for entertainment and themed graphics—especially spooky, rebellious, or gritty concepts—and can add urgency to packaging callouts or social media promos. For longer text, generous sizing and spacing helps preserve clarity amid the rough edges.
The overall tone is loud and unruly, mixing comic roughness with a darker, gritty edge. It reads as energetic and slightly menacing, like hand-painted signage that’s been scraped up or overprinted. The distressed details add tension and attitude, making the face feel expressive rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold shapes paired with deliberate wear and brush-like damage. It prioritizes personality and texture over smooth precision, aiming for a handmade, distressed display look that remains legible at headline sizes.
Capitals carry strong blocky presence, while lowercase keeps a similar weight and texture, helping mixed-case words feel dense and punchy. The most characterful moments come from the aggressively notched terminals and the scratchy interior cut-ins, which become more prominent as size increases.
