A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, eroded contours and a stamped-ink look. Strokes are thick and compact, with boxy proportions, rounded interior counters, and noticeably uneven edges that feel torn or worn. Terminals are blunt and slightly misshapen, with occasional nicks, gaps, and blot-like texture that varies from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally rough print impression. Spacing is straightforward and the overall silhouette stays legible despite the distressed surface.
Best suited to display settings where texture is part of the message: posters, album/cover art, event flyers, merch and streetwear graphics, and punchy editorial headlines. It performs especially well at medium-to-large sizes on simple backgrounds, where the rough edges and ink-wear detail can be appreciated without compromising readability.
The font reads as loud and gritty, with a DIY, poster-and-zine attitude. Its distressed texture adds urgency and edge, while the simplified, rounded shapes keep it approachable and slightly playful rather than sinister. Overall it conveys a rugged, street-level energy suited to informal, attention-grabbing messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, immediate headline voice with a deliberately distressed, printed-by-hand character. The goal appears to be high-impact letterforms that feel physical and imperfect—like ink stamped onto paper—bringing grit and personality to short-form text.
Texture appears applied to both outer contours and some interior shapes, producing a worn, screen-printed feel. The alphabet maintains consistent weight and basic construction, but the distressing introduces organic variation that becomes more apparent at larger sizes and in short headlines.
