A heavy, chunky display face with simplified, mostly sans-like skeletons and strongly rounded counters. Edges are aggressively roughened with torn, chipped contours and occasional interior nicks, creating an uneven inked silhouette across the set. Stroke terminals appear abruptly cut and irregular rather than smoothly finished, while bowls and apertures remain large enough to keep forms recognizable. Spacing and sidebearings feel inconsistent by design, reinforcing a restless, cutout-like rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, cover art, and promotional graphics where the distressed texture can read clearly. It can also work for themed packaging, merch, and title cards, especially when paired with simpler supporting type for body copy.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, with a gritty, worn texture that reads as rebellious and offbeat rather than refined. Its rough silhouette suggests DIY printing, scuffed signage, or a deliberately battered poster aesthetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing voice with deliberate wear and irregularity, trading polish for character. Its simplified structures keep legibility intact while the torn texture supplies attitude and a handmade, printed-on-rough-stock feel.
Uppercase forms are broad and blocky, while lowercase stays similarly weighty and rounded, maintaining a cohesive presence. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment, with clear shapes that keep their identity even when the edges break up. The texture is prominent enough that small sizes will amplify the noise, while larger sizes showcase the torn details as a stylistic feature.
