A condensed, heavy display face with chunky, mostly monoline strokes and a visibly rough, distressed edge. Letterforms are upright and compact, with tight internal counters and slightly uneven outlines that create a stamped or cut-out feel. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, and the overall rhythm is lively due to small irregularities in width, spacing, and edge texture across the alphabet and numerals.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event promos, packaging, and merchandise graphics where the distressed edge can work as a stylistic feature. It can also support subheads or pull quotes when set large with generous tracking to keep the compact counters from filling in.
The font conveys an energetic, mischievous tone—part comic, part gritty—balancing bold presence with a DIY imperfection. Its roughened texture and condensed stance give it a poster-like urgency that reads as fun, slightly unruly, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to emulate informal, hand-made lettering with a deliberately worn finish, delivering strong visual impact in narrow spaces. Its condensed build and rugged edges suggest a focus on bold display communication with a characterful, imperfect texture.
Texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the set feel cohesive in longer lines of text, but the tight counters and condensed proportions make it better suited to larger sizes. The digit shapes match the same rugged, blocky construction, supporting headline and numbering use without looking out of place.
