A rough, hand-rendered sans with irregular contours and an intentionally distressed silhouette. Strokes are heavy and slightly slanted, with visibly uneven edges that suggest dry-brush or worn print. Counters vary in size and cleanliness, and terminals often end in blunt, torn-looking shapes. Spacing and widths are not fully uniform, giving lines a lively, slightly jittery rhythm while remaining readable at display sizes.
Well-suited for bold headlines and short bursts of text where texture is part of the message—posters, album/mixtape artwork, apparel graphics, festival and gig flyers, and edgy branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a cleaner companion for body copy.
The font communicates a raw, rebellious energy with a handmade, gritty attitude. Its worn texture and uneven stroke behavior evoke DIY posters, zines, and distressed signage, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect finish.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive hand lettering with worn, imperfect edges, creating a strong display voice that feels printed, painted, or stamped under less-than-pristine conditions.
Uppercase forms are relatively compact and sturdy, while lowercase letters show more variation and personality, especially in ascenders and bowls. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment, with chunky shapes and softened corners that keep the set visually cohesive.
