A condensed, right-leaning display face with chunky strokes and strongly irregular, torn-looking edges. The letterforms feel brush- or marker-drawn, with inconsistent contours that create a mottled, textured silhouette while maintaining a clear baseline and overall rhythm. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, and terminals end bluntly with ragged bite marks rather than clean cuts. Proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, giving the set an intentionally uneven, hand-rendered cadence.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, punchy headlines, album or game cover art, stickers, and energetic event promotions. The distressed edges and condensed width help it fill space with attitude, but the texture suggests keeping it at larger sizes and avoiding long passages.
The overall tone is loud and playful, with a gritty DIY energy that reads as mischievous and slightly chaotic. Its rough texture suggests handmade signage or distressed print, lending an assertive, rebellious personality without becoming illegible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, expressive display voice that feels hand-inked and intentionally imperfect. Its condensed, slanted construction and distressed perimeter prioritize personality and motion over typographic neutrality.
Round characters like O, C, and G show pronounced waviness and chipped contours, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) appear sharp and aggressive. Numerals carry the same distressed treatment, with simplified, compact forms that match the condensed rhythm.
