A rough, brush-and-ink style display face with chunky strokes and pronounced, irregular contours. Letterforms show wobbling verticals, chiseled-looking corners, and frequent interior nicks and gaps that read like distressed printing or heavy dry-brush texture. Curves are slightly squarish and compressed, with an energetic rightward slant and uneven stroke terminals that vary from blunt to torn. Spacing feels compact and lively, and the figures share the same rugged, stamped-ink character as the letters.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, and title treatments where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also suits branding accents for music, events, or packaging that benefits from a raw, printed-by-hand look; for extended reading, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The texture and slanted, hand-rendered rhythm create a gritty, DIY tone that feels loud and immediate. Its worn edges and blotchy fills suggest underground posters, rough signage, and rebellious craft rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to mimic worn, hand-painted or roughly printed letterforms—capturing the imperfections of ink, pressure, and texture while keeping recognizable, straightforward shapes for quick display readability.
The distressing is consistent across the set, with repeated edge breakup and small voids that can thicken or close up at smaller sizes. In longer lines the irregular silhouettes add motion, but also introduce a deliberate roughness that becomes the main visual feature.
