A heavy, all-caps-friendly display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and chunky, inked-in counters. The strokes keep a generally consistent thickness, but the edges wobble and chip, creating a stamped or cut-out silhouette across letters and numerals. Forms are mostly blocky and compact with rounded-square bowls and simplified joins, prioritizing bold shape recognition over fine detail. Lowercase follows the same rugged construction, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a compact, utilitarian rhythm.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, titles, cover art, stickers, and packaging where personality matters more than precision. It can also work for playful UI labels or splash screens when a rough, handmade feel is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed contours read clearly.
The overall tone is mischievous and raw, like a DIY zine headline or a handmade poster pulled from a well-used stamp set. Its imperfect outlines and blotty texture read as energetic and slightly chaotic, leaning into humor and offbeat character rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a deliberately imperfect, handcrafted look with a bold silhouette and built-in edge wear. By combining straightforward, blocky construction with irregular outlines, it aims to feel expressive and quirky while remaining legible in display contexts.
The distressing is baked into the letterforms rather than applied as a uniform texture, so each glyph carries its own unique nicks and waviness. The strong silhouette holds up well at larger sizes, while the internal counters and rough edges become the defining texture in body-like settings.
