A heavy, ink-saturated display face with rugged, irregular contours and intentionally unstable outlines. The strokes appear carved or torn at the edges, producing a bumpy perimeter and occasional notches, while counters are frequently reduced or partially collapsed, pushing many letters toward solid silhouettes. Overall proportions are compact and chunky, with simplified internal structure and a slightly inconsistent rhythm that reads as handmade rather than mechanical.
Best suited to large-size applications where texture is an asset: posters, punchy headlines, album or game cover titling, and attention-grabbing flyers. It can also work for short bursts of copy in branding or packaging when legibility demands are modest and a rough, handmade imprint is desired.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY energy—somewhere between distressed poster lettering and a messy stamp impression. Its dense shapes and rough edges feel loud and mischievous, giving headlines a raw, street-level attitude and a touch of cartoonish menace.
The design appears intended to mimic a thick, imperfect impression—like heavily inked stencil or stamp lettering that has worn, bled, or been roughly cut. Its goal is not precision but impact, using collapsed counters and ragged contours to turn text into a bold, textured shape.
Text color is dominated by mass rather than line: many glyphs read as bold blobs with small or pinched apertures, which lowers clarity at smaller sizes. The irregular edge treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified distressed texture that becomes a prominent graphic element in paragraphs.
