A rough, hand-rendered display face with uneven stroke edges, blotty ink traps, and jittery contours that suggest a worn marker or distressed print. Forms are condensed overall, with irregular character widths and slightly left-leaning, backslanted construction. Strokes show pronounced contrast from thickened blobs to pinched joins, and terminals often end abruptly or fray into textured ends. The baseline and cap line feel lively and inconsistent, reinforcing an intentionally imperfect rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, album artwork, event flyers, packaging callouts, and title cards where the texture and irregularity can be read clearly. It can work for subheads or pull quotes when given ample size and spacing, but the distressed edges and uneven rhythm will reduce clarity in long passages or small UI text.
The font conveys a gritty, analog attitude—more zine, gig-poster, and DIY than polished editorial. Its distressed texture reads as urgent and expressive, with a slightly eerie, off-kilter energy that can lean playful or menacing depending on context and spacing.
The design appears intended to emulate distressed hand-lettering—capturing ink bleed, worn stamping, and rough reproduction artifacts while keeping letterforms recognizable. Its condensed proportions and assertive texture suggest it was built for bold display moments where character and atmosphere are as important as legibility.
Counters are frequently roughened and partially closed by ink spread, increasing darkness in dense settings. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same distressed vocabulary, producing a cohesive, intentionally worn texture that becomes more prominent at larger sizes and in high-contrast color applications.
