A heavy, chunky display face with compact counters and broad, block-like silhouettes. The letterforms are intentionally distressed, showing ragged edges, chipped corners, and uneven interior voids that feel like worn stencil cuts or degraded printing. Strokes stay largely monoline in impression, but the texture introduces irregular thickness and bite marks that break up curves and straight segments. Spacing and sidebearings read slightly inconsistent by design, contributing to a raw, hand-worn rhythm in words and lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, cover art, event flyers, title cards, and bold branding moments where texture is a feature rather than a flaw. It can also work for labels and packaging that benefit from a worn, tactile, print-made character, but is less appropriate for long-form reading due to the heavy distress.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, with a DIY, street-printed energy. The distressed texture adds a sense of age, abrasion, and noise, making the font feel at home in darker, more aggressive, or rebellious visual narratives.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a deliberately degraded surface, evoking worn ink, abrasion, or distressed stencil work. Its goal is to add attitude and texture to display typography while keeping letter shapes clear enough to read at headline sizes.
Round letters like O and Q show prominent interior disruptions, and several glyphs exhibit small notches and tears along terminals, reinforcing a cut-and-weathered look. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, so the distressed effect remains cohesive in mixed-case settings.
