A rough, hand-rendered display face with irregular, distressed contours and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple, blocky construction, while counters and terminals show chipping, drag, and patchy ink texture that creates a lively, broken silhouette. Strokes fluctuate in thickness within a single glyph, and widths vary across the set, producing a loosely rhythmic, imperfect line. Numerals and capitals carry the same worn, ink-stamped feel, with occasional blobby joins and scratch-like interior artifacts.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and entertainment branding where a worn or handcrafted look is desired. It performs particularly well at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed detailing can be appreciated without compromising legibility.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY tone—part brush lettering, part weathered print—suggesting urgency, noise, and physical materiality. Its distressed texture reads as rebellious and analog, with a handmade authenticity suited to rougher, less polished messaging.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect, physical mark-making—like dry brush strokes or degraded ink impressions—while keeping letter structures straightforward enough for bold display setting. The goal is character and texture over typographic polish, emphasizing a rugged, tactile presence.
In paragraph samples the texture remains prominent and can visually fill in smaller counters, especially in dense words and rounded letters. The irregular edge noise gives strong character at larger sizes, while the variable widths and textured forms create a deliberately inconsistent color across lines.
