A heavy, blocky display face built from simple geometric silhouettes with visibly distressed cutouts throughout the strokes. The letterforms use mostly straight-sided bowls and counters with occasional rounded corners, giving a sturdy, poster-like footprint. Distress is applied as irregular chips, voids, and scrape marks that vary from glyph to glyph, creating an intentionally uneven texture while keeping the overall shapes legible. Spacing and widths feel irregular in a hand-stamped way, and the figures and caps carry the same rugged surface treatment for a consistent set-wide look.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as posters, flyers, album/cover art, and attention-grabbing headlines where the distressed texture can read clearly. It also works well for branding accents in streetwear, skate, or craft/DIY contexts, and for packaging or labels that benefit from a stamped, worn-in look.
The font reads as loud and mischievous, with a worn, streetwise energy. Its distressed texture evokes weathered signage, stamped labels, and DIY print techniques, leaning into a rebellious, gritty mood while still feeling lighthearted and cartoon-tough in tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, instantly recognizable display voice by combining sturdy, simplified letterforms with aggressive distressing. The goal is less about typographic refinement and more about character—suggesting rough print processes, abrasion, and imperfect surfaces for expressive, novelty-driven compositions.
The distress frequently breaks into counters and terminals, so interior clarity can fluctuate at smaller sizes; it performs best when allowed to breathe. The texture is prominent enough to become part of the composition, especially in all-caps headlines and short phrases.
