A heavy, condensed display sans with chunky silhouettes and uneven, hand-made contours. Strokes are blocky and mostly monolinear, but the edges wobble and taper unpredictably, creating a distressed cutout feel. Counters are small and sometimes pinched or off-center, and terminals tend to end bluntly with ragged corners. Widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet an animated, poster-like rhythm rather than a strict geometric consistency.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, mastheads, and cover treatments where the rough texture can read as a deliberate stylistic voice. It can work well for entertainment branding, event flyers, album art, and packaging that benefits from a gritty, handmade personality; for longer text, larger sizes and generous line spacing will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is loud, scrappy, and rebellious, with a DIY texture that reads as gritty and playful at the same time. It evokes zine culture, low-fi printing, and campy horror or slapstick title cards—attention-seeking and a little chaotic, but still legible in short bursts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through dense forms and an intentionally imperfect, hand-cut finish. Its irregularities read as expressive texture rather than precision, aiming to add attitude and immediacy to display typography.
Tight apertures and compact counters make the face feel dense, especially in letters like a, e, and s. The irregular edge treatment becomes a defining texture in lines of text, so spacing and line length will strongly influence perceived readability.
