A rough, ink-heavy display face with uneven stroke edges and noticeably irregular contours, as if stamped or painted with a worn brush. Letterforms are simple and blocky at their core, but the outlines wobble and bite in and out, creating a torn-paper silhouette and occasional interior notches. Curves and bowls stay fairly open for a distressed style, while joints and terminals vary from rounded blobs to sharper, chipped ends. Spacing and widths fluctuate per glyph, reinforcing an improvised, hand-made rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best used at display sizes where the irregular edges and blotchy texture can be appreciated—titles, posters, album/mixtape art, and themed packaging or merchandise. It can also work for short bursts of text in game UI or social graphics when a gritty, analog-print vibe is desired, but it will be less comfortable for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, with a DIY, underground feel that reads as rebellious and slightly ominous. Its texture suggests age, wear, or messy printing, giving it a moody, cinematic edge suited to darker or more chaotic themes.
The design appears intended to emulate imperfect, analog lettering—like worn rubber stamping, rough brush inking, or degraded photocopy output—prioritizing mood and texture over precision. It aims to deliver high visual impact with a raw, distressed personality that immediately signals a non-polished, alternative aesthetic.
Uppercase forms feel more poster-like and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps the same rough texture with a casual, handwritten energy. Numerals share the same ragged perimeter and heavy fill, maintaining a cohesive distressed color across mixed content.
