A compact, heavy display face with irregular, brush-painted letterforms and visibly worn edges. Strokes are thick and somewhat lumpy, with soft corners and uneven contouring that creates small nicks and voids in the counters. Curves and straight segments both show a mottled, ink-pressed texture, and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet an intentionally untamed rhythm. The numerals share the same chunky construction and distressed surface, maintaining a consistent, stamped-and-smeared silhouette across the set.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, and event promotions where texture is part of the message. It also fits album art, streetwear-style branding, and packaging that benefits from a rough, inked display look. Use larger sizes and generous spacing to preserve the distressed detail and maintain legibility.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, balancing a handmade charm with a rough, poster-like punch. Its distressed texture reads as imperfect and tactile, suggesting noise, motion, and a casual, rebellious attitude rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a loud, tactile display voice that feels printed or brushed by hand, with deliberate wear and irregularity for character. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and texture over precision, aiming for immediacy and attitude in branding and promotional typography.
In the text sample, the dense black shapes produce strong impact but the textured interiors and irregular edges can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The design performs best when the distressed details have room to show and the bold silhouettes can carry the words.
