A heavy, blocky display face with squared counters and mostly rectilinear construction, disrupted by aggressive distressed edges. Strokes end in torn, spiky protrusions and occasional drip-like notches, creating an intentionally uneven silhouette while keeping the underlying letterforms fairly geometric. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, reinforcing an irregular rhythm; curves are minimized and corners are frequently chipped or broken. Numerals are comparatively cleaner and more monolinear, but still match the blunt, poster-like proportions of the alphabet.
Best suited for headlines and short, high-impact text where the jagged texture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for posters, album/track artwork, game titles or UI accents, themed event flyers, and branding that aims for a raw, disruptive look.
The overall tone is loud, unruly, and confrontational, with a gritty DIY feel. Its sharp fractures and ragged terminals suggest danger and tension, leaning into a playful-but-menacing “wacky” energy rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to fuse a sturdy, blocky base with deliberate damage and spikes, creating a high-energy decorative texture that reads instantly as unconventional and rebellious. The irregularities seem crafted to add motion and attitude while preserving recognizable skeletons for display readability.
Legibility remains workable in short phrases because the core shapes stay recognizable, but the texture can build quickly in paragraphs or at small sizes. The distressed detailing is strong enough to read as part of the design rather than incidental noise, giving text a stamped or torn-paper effect.
