A heavy, all-caps–friendly display face with chunky silhouettes and aggressively irregular contours. Strokes read as compact and dense, with rough, torn-looking edges and frequent bite marks that create a speckled, ink-worn texture along both outer outlines and counters. The rhythm is uneven by design: widths and internal spaces vary across letters, producing a lively, distressed color on the line while keeping an upright stance and straightforward construction. Curves are swollen and gritty rather than smooth, and terminals end abruptly with broken, eroded-looking finishes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/EP artwork, event flyers, title cards, and packaging or labels that benefit from a distressed imprint. It also works well for game titles, themed graphics, and punchy pull quotes where texture and attitude are more important than long-form readability.
The overall tone is raw and abrasive, evoking worn posters, DIY printmaking, and dark, high-energy imagery. It carries a confrontational, underground feel that can suggest horror, punk, or gritty urban themes depending on context and color.
The design appears intended to simulate a heavily worn, over-inked, or eroded print surface while preserving recognizable letterforms. Its goal is to deliver maximum visual punch with an authentic roughness, adding grit and urgency to display typography without leaning into slant or script-like motion.
In running text the texture becomes the main character: counters can close down and fine interior detail competes with the bold mass, so it rewards generous tracking and larger sizes. The irregular edge noise is consistent across the set, giving headlines a cohesive, intentionally degraded look rather than random distortion.
