A heavy, blocky display face with irregular, torn-looking edges and subtly uneven stroke contours, as if cut from paper or stamped with worn ink. The forms are compact and mostly upright, with squared-off terminals, occasional notches, and slightly lopsided counters that keep the rhythm intentionally rough. Curves are simplified into chunky, almost faceted shapes, and spacing feels lively rather than strictly uniform, reinforcing the handmade look across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, album/mixtape covers, brand marks, stickers, and expressive packaging where texture is an asset. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but the jagged edges and busy silhouettes may feel heavy in long paragraphs or small sizes.
The font projects a scrappy, rebellious energy—playful but abrasive—like DIY gig posters or rough-screened merch. Its deliberate imperfections read as loud and expressive, leaning toward humor and attitude rather than polish or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a deliberately distressed, cut-out aesthetic—prioritizing character and texture over precision. It aims to look handcrafted and slightly chaotic, giving typography a raw, printed-by-hand presence.
Uppercase characters carry a strong poster-like presence, while the lowercase retains the same chiseled, distressed texture for consistent tone in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the rugged silhouette, staying legible but intentionally gnarly at the edges, which gives lines of text a textured, animated surface.
