A heavy, hand-rendered display face with compact proportions and deliberately uneven contours. Strokes are thick and somewhat variable, with ragged edges that suggest dry-brush or worn stamp printing; counters are small and occasionally pinched, contributing to a dense, inky color. Letterforms are mostly upright and simple in construction, but with irregular terminals, bumpy curves, and subtle per-glyph width differences that create an animated rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry the same distressed texture, maintaining consistent roughness across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, cover art, and merch graphics where the distressed edges can be appreciated. It can add attitude to branding for music, nightlife, skate/streetwear, or themed campaigns that want a rough, tactile voice.
The overall tone is gritty and rebellious, with a handmade, imperfect energy. Its distressed texture reads like DIY printmaking or a poster that’s been weathered, giving it a loud, street-level presence with a slightly playful edge.
Likely designed to deliver an assertive, distressed display look that feels printed-by-hand rather than typeset, prioritizing texture and personality over refinement. The consistent grunge treatment across letters and figures suggests an intention for bold titling and expressive, theme-forward typography.
The texture is prominent enough that fine spacing and small sizes may fill in, while larger settings emphasize the rugged silhouette. Curved letters (like O, C, S) show noticeable waviness, and verticals often look brush-loaded, reinforcing the organic, non-mechanical feel.
