A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and a hand-inked silhouette. Strokes feel carved or stamped rather than drawn with consistent modulation, producing a jagged perimeter and uneven terminals throughout. Counters are largely collapsed or filled, leaving the letters as bold black shapes where readability relies on outer contours and distinctive notches. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a bouncy rhythm and an intentionally imperfect texture across lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like posters, headlines, and punchy pull quotes where its rough texture can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, album/cover art, and event flyers that want a handmade, gritty presence. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help maintain legibility.
The overall tone is gritty and playful, with a DIY, cut-out energy that reads as rebellious rather than refined. Its dense black shapes and rough edges suggest something loud, tactile, and informal—suited to attention-grabbing statements and expressive, characterful branding.
Likely designed to deliver an aggressive, tactile display look that feels stamped, carved, or cut from paper, prioritizing texture and attitude over clean typographic detail. The collapsed interiors and irregular outlines emphasize silhouette recognition and create a bold, poster-ready footprint.
In the sample text, the filled counters and rugged edges create a strong dark color on the page, especially in longer lines; the face works best when given enough size and breathing room to preserve letter differentiation. The mix of rounded blobs and sharper nicks adds visual noise that enhances the distressed effect but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes.
