A heavy, chunky display face built from irregular, blobby silhouettes with torn-looking edges and softly rounded corners. Strokes feel carved or stamped rather than drawn with clean geometry, producing wobbly contours, uneven terminals, and slightly inconsistent counters from glyph to glyph. The rhythm is compact and dense, with thick joins and minimal interior space, giving letters a strong black presence even at moderate sizes. Capitals and lowercase share a similarly bulky construction, with a generally straightforward skeleton that’s been deliberately distressed and softened for texture.
Best suited to display typography where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, flyers, packaging accents, title cards, and playful branding moments. It works well for short headlines, logos, and attention-grabbing callouts, especially in music, entertainment, and youth-oriented contexts.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a messy, tactile energy that reads as rebellious and humorous rather than refined. Its rough perimeter and chunky mass convey a loud, poster-like attitude with a DIY, underground feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful voice by combining a familiar, readable letter skeleton with aggressively irregular edges and dense ink coverage. The aim is impact and personality—more about texture and attitude than typographic neutrality.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and irregular in texture, with distinctive, jagged edge detail that becomes a key part of the voice. The distressed perimeter can fill in smaller apertures and counters at small sizes, so it benefits from display-scale use and ample line spacing.
