A heavy, blocky display face with irregular, eroded contours and a consistently rough perimeter, as if the outlines were bitten away or stamped with wet ink. Strokes are thick with abrupt thickness shifts and small voids along edges, creating a jittery silhouette while maintaining mostly simple, geometric skeletons. Counters tend to stay open and readable, but the texture introduces noise and soft, lumpy terminals that vary from glyph to glyph. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, emphasizing a hand-made, cutout-like rhythm in text.
Best suited to large-scale display applications such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and album or podcast artwork where the distressed silhouette can read clearly. It also fits branding moments that want a deliberately imperfect, tactile look—stickers, merch graphics, and punchy packaging callouts—especially when paired with a calmer text companion.
The overall tone is mischievous and unruly, with a DIY grit that reads as playful rather than purely aggressive. It evokes punk zine energy, messy screenprint posters, and novelty packaging where imperfection is part of the charm. The texture adds a quirky, slightly spooky edge without losing legibility at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing voice through controlled chaos: straightforward letter structures are overlaid with heavy distressing to simulate worn print or cut-paper edges. The goal is character and attitude first, with readability preserved primarily for short phrases and titles.
In running text, the repeated edge breakup creates strong color and a vibrating texture, so the face performs best when given room to breathe. Numerals and capitals keep bold, poster-like presence, while the roughness can cause small details (like apertures and joins) to visually fill in at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output.
