A rough, ink-heavy display face with condensed proportions and irregular stroke edges. Letterforms look brush-drawn or marker-rendered, with frayed contours, occasional nicks, and inconsistent stroke terminals that create a distressed silhouette. The alphabet stays largely upright but shows slight wobble and uneven stroke rhythm; counters can be partially pinched by texture, and curves are simplified into chunky, dark shapes. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same rugged treatment, producing a lively, imperfect texture across lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, merch graphics, album or mixtape covers, and event promotion. It also works well for branding moments that want a distressed, hand-applied look, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rough edges and ink texture remain legible.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, with a handmade, DIY energy that reads as loud and rebellious. The distressed surface and uneven rhythm suggest underground flyers, zines, or rough screenprint aesthetics rather than polished editorial typography.
The design intention appears to be a condensed, all-purpose display alphabet with an intentionally worn, brush-ink texture, capturing the feel of hurried hand lettering and rough printing. Its irregularities seem purposeful, prioritizing attitude and tactile character over smooth, neutral readability.
Because the texture and heavy fill close in small details, clarity drops quickly at small sizes; the face performs best when given room to breathe. Spacing appears somewhat uneven by design, reinforcing the improvised, analog feel.
