A heavy, compact display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and an intentionally uneven silhouette. Strokes appear brushy and ink-blotted, with frequent edge chatter and soft, eroded corners that create a distressed, stamped texture. Many counters are reduced or fully closed, producing chunky, solid letterforms with simplified interior structure and a gritty rhythm across words. Curves and joins vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, imperfect consistency rather than geometric precision.
Well-suited to bold headlines and short bursts of text in posters, gig and event flyers, album or podcast artwork, and streetwear-inspired branding. It can also add attitude to packaging labels and social graphics where a distressed, stamped look is desired; for longer passages, it works best when set large with ample tracking.
The overall tone is raw and rebellious, like worn screen print, sponge paint, or a distressed rubber stamp. It reads energetic and scrappy, with a mischievous, DIY attitude that feels more expressive than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through solid, simplified shapes and deliberately distressed edges, evoking ink-heavy printing and rough, tactile materials. Its collapsed counters and uneven outlines prioritize mood, texture, and immediacy over refinement and extended readability.
At smaller sizes, the collapsed counters and rough edges can visually fill in, so the design benefits from generous size and spacing. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving headlines a unified, gritty color.
