A compact, heavy-stroked display face with irregular, inked-in contours and visibly distressed counters. Strokes vary in thickness within each letter, with a brush-and-marker feel that creates small voids, nicks, and uneven edges throughout. The proportions are condensed overall, with simplified geometry and slightly inconsistent widths and curves that reinforce a hand-rendered rhythm rather than strict modular construction. Terminals are blunt and often smeared, and round forms show lumpy, textured perimeters that read like imperfect printing or dry brush drag.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications such as posters, event flyers, album/mixtape covers, packaging callouts, and bold headlines where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also works well for branding elements that want a handmade, gritty imprint, especially in black-on-light layouts with generous size and spacing.
The font projects a gritty, DIY energy—casual, rebellious, and a bit chaotic. Its distressed texture and compact stance give it a street-poster or zine sensibility, while the rounded, cartoony shapes keep the tone more playful than menacing.
The design appears intended to mimic rough brush lettering or worn screenprint output, combining condensed display proportions with intentionally imperfect edges and counters. The goal is to deliver instant personality and texture for expressive titles and thematic graphics rather than neutral, long-form readability.
In text settings the texture becomes a strong foreground element, with occasional interior speckling and roughened joins that add visual noise. The condensed fit and dark color create strong impact at larger sizes, but the distressed details can crowd together as sizes get smaller.
