A heavy, ink-saturated display face with irregular contours and frequent interior voids that read like splatters or worn screenprint texture. Letterforms are broadly blocky and mostly upright, but the stroke edges are jagged and uneven, with abrupt nicks and bulges that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are inconsistent and sometimes partially filled, producing a mottled, stamped look; curves (C, O, S) appear lumpy and handmade rather than geometric. Widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving lines a lively, uneven rhythm while maintaining a sturdy, poster-ready presence.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/mixtape artwork, event flyers, and bold headlines where texture is part of the message. It can also work for themed packaging, apparel graphics, or title cards when a rough, analog print feel is desired.
The overall tone is gritty and rebellious, evoking DIY print culture, underground flyers, and raw, analog ink on paper. Its distressed texture adds menace and intensity that can skew toward horror, punk, or industrial aesthetics depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic rough, over-inked printing or distressed lettering, prioritizing attitude and texture over pristine regularity. Its variable shapes and worn details are geared toward expressive display typography that feels handmade and deliberately imperfect.
In text, the coarse edge texture remains prominent and the irregular counters add strong character, but the noisy silhouette can reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs. The numerals and capitals carry the most impact, reading like bold cutouts or heavily inked stamps.
