A heavy, inked display face with brush-like strokes and aggressively irregular contours. Letterforms are mostly upright with compact proportions, but widths vary noticeably and curves often resolve into torn, chipped edges. Counters are uneven and occasionally partially filled, creating a blotty, worn-print look; terminals are blunt and frayed rather than cleanly cut. The rhythm is lively and inconsistent by design, with rough joins and wobbly outlines that read as hand-rendered paint or distressed stamping.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and attitude are desirable, such as event posters, band/album graphics, streetwear and merchandise, game titles, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for brand marks or section headers when a rough, handmade tone is needed, but the distressed edges make it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a raw, gritty attitude—somewhere between DIY gig-poster lettering and weathered, horror-leaning display type. Its distressed texture and uneven color make it feel loud, urgent, and slightly menacing, while still retaining a playful handmade energy.
The design appears intended to simulate thick paint or ink applied quickly and imperfectly, then degraded through wear, rough printing, or repeated stamping. Its inconsistent contours and blotty interiors prioritize character and impact over refinement, aiming for an expressive, distressed display voice.
The uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed construction, but the lowercase is simpler and more compact, reinforcing an informal, hand-painted feel. Numerals are similarly rugged and bold, suitable for short, high-impact set pieces rather than precise, neutral typography.
