A heavy, ink-saturated display face with irregular, eroded contours and frequent interior nicks that mimic worn printing or distressed brush/marker forms. Strokes are chunky and high-contrast in places, with abrupt thick-to-thin transitions, torn-looking terminals, and uneven joins that create a restless rhythm across words. Counters are often partially pinched or blotted, and widths fluctuate noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving lines a handmade, unstable texture rather than a strictly typographic one.
Best suited to short display settings where the distressed texture can be a feature: posters, cover art, title cards, packaging accents, and bold headers for themed events. It performs especially well when paired with cleaner supporting text and given enough size and spacing to keep counters from filling in.
The overall tone is raw and confrontational, leaning toward punk zine, horror, and grunge aesthetics. Its distressed texture adds urgency and tension, suggesting something weathered, stamped, or hastily printed rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver an aggressive, worn-print look—like ink that has bled, chipped, or been dragged—while remaining legible at headline sizes. Its irregular outlines and fluctuating widths prioritize atmosphere and attitude over precision, creating a distinctive, tactile imprint.
Uppercase forms read as rugged, poster-like blocks, while the lowercase keeps the same distressed texture with compact proportions that can close up in smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same torn-edge treatment, reinforcing a consistent, intentionally imperfect voice.
