A compact, heavy display face with rough, torn-looking contours and uneven stroke edges throughout. Letterforms are built from blunt, chunky strokes with slightly faceted curves and frequent nicks and notches that create a dry-brush or worn-print texture. Counters tend to be small and irregular, and curves (C, G, O) show visibly broken outlines rather than smooth geometry. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, contributing to an energetic, hand-cut rhythm while remaining broadly consistent in baseline and cap height.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/EP artwork, apparel graphics, and punchy headlines where texture is an asset. It can work for spooky or aggressive title treatments, as well as grunge or punk branding accents. For longer passages, it benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes to keep counters from closing up.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, with a DIY, street-poster feel. Its distressed texture evokes aged ink, rough stamping, or scraped paint, giving text a noisy, urgent presence. The personality reads more rebellious and expressive than refined or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, distressed display voice that mimics imperfect printing or rough brush lettering. It prioritizes texture and attitude over smooth finish, creating immediate visual character for thematic, high-energy typographic moments.
Uppercase forms feel more blocky and emblematic, while lowercase shapes keep the same rugged texture and show simplified constructions (notably single-story-style a and g). Numerals follow the same distressed treatment and maintain strong weight for emphasis. The font’s texture is prominent even at moderate sizes, so it visually dominates surrounding elements.
