A heavy, chunky display face built from simplified, rounded letterforms with aggressive, irregular edge damage. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, but the silhouette is broken by jagged, torn-looking bites, giving a rough printed/painted texture. Counters are generally open and circular, terminals are blunt, and curves are slightly lumpy, producing an intentionally uneven rhythm across the alphabet and numerals. Overall spacing reads compact and sturdy, with the roughened contours doing most of the visual work.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, packaging callouts, album/cover art, game or comic-style titles, and punchy social graphics. It holds up well at larger sizes where the rough edge detail can be appreciated, and works as an accent face paired with a cleaner body type.
The font projects a loud, rowdy energy—part comic, part punk flyer—with a playful menace. Its distressed edges suggest hand-made signage, DIY screen prints, or worn ink, giving text an immediate, gritty attitude without becoming illegible.
The design intention appears to be delivering maximum visual punch with a deliberately distressed, torn-ink silhouette—capturing a DIY, gritty aesthetic while keeping letterforms bold and readable for display use.
The distressed treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with especially noticeable chipping on outer curves and at joins. Lowercase forms keep a simple, single-storey construction where applicable, reinforcing an informal, poster-forward tone.
