A heavy, display-oriented letterform set with chunky silhouettes and visibly distressed edges. Strokes are compact and uneven, with rough, torn-looking contours and occasional interior nicks that suggest worn printing or ink spread. Counters are generally small and irregular, and the overall color is dense, producing strong presence in headlines. The forms stay broadly upright and legible while allowing significant texture variation from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album or mixtape artwork, event flyers, streetwear graphics, and title treatments for games or video content. It performs well when you want bold readability paired with an intentionally rough, printed texture, and it benefits from generous sizing and breathing room.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY energy with a mischievous, rebellious tone. Its rough texture and imperfect finish feel hand-made and loud, evoking zines, stamped posters, and distressed signage rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold headline voice with built-in distress, mimicking degraded ink and rough-cut shapes to create immediate attitude and texture without additional effects.
Texture is a primary feature: edges appear intentionally abraded, and some characters show subtle interior break-up that increases visual noise at smaller sizes. The numerals match the same rugged, ink-worn aesthetic, keeping a consistent voice across letters and figures.
