A compact, heavy display face with chunky verticals and uneven, chewed-up contours. Strokes read as solid blocks of ink, but the outlines are consistently rough, with nicks, bulges, and small bite-like intrusions that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are tight and irregular, and joins/terminals often feel torn or blotted rather than cleanly finished. Overall spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, worn-print rhythm while remaining legible in short lines.
Works best for short, high-impact typography such as posters, titles, and packaging or labels that benefit from a worn, gritty texture. It also suits album artwork, zines, and game or film title treatments where atmosphere matters more than long-form readability.
The texture and rugged edges give it an ominous, gritty tone that leans toward horror, punk ephemera, and weathered poster aesthetics. It suggests something stamped, decayed, or pulled from a distressed print run—loud, confrontational, and intentionally imperfect.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, distressed display voice that mimics rough printing, erosion, or battered signage. The goal appears to be instant mood and texture with strong silhouette recognition at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms are assertive and blocky, while lowercase retains the same distressed DNA with compact bowls and short extenders, keeping the overall color dense. Numerals match the heavy mass and irregular perimeter, making them suitable for emphatic, headline-style use where texture is part of the message.
