A heavy, hand-rendered display face with rough, torn-looking contours and uneven stroke edges throughout. The letterforms are built from chunky strokes with frequent interior nicks, voids, and ink-like breakups that create a mottled texture. Curves are irregular and slightly lopsided, counters are often partially closed or jagged, and terminals end abruptly with chisel-like cuts. Overall spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, producing a lively, unsettled rhythm that reads as intentionally imperfect.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture is part of the message—posters, headlines, packaging accents, album/mixtape artwork, and thematic title treatments. It works well when paired with a cleaner companion for body copy, or when used large to preserve legibility while showcasing the distressed detail.
The font projects a gritty, DIY attitude with an aggressive, street-level energy. Its distressed texture and uneven rhythm evoke rough printing, marker or brush lettering, and weathered signage, creating an expressive, rebellious tone rather than a polished one.
The design appears intended to mimic forceful, hand-made lettering with deliberate degradation—capturing the look of rough brush/marker strokes and worn ink to add urgency, grit, and personality to display typography.
In the sample text, the heavy texture remains prominent across lines, but the broken interiors and irregular counters can soften clarity at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs. The numerals and capitals carry the same rugged construction, keeping a consistent voice across letters and figures.
