A tightly condensed, heavy display face with a consistent rightward slant and a rough, distressed edge treatment. Strokes are mostly monoline and blocky, with angular joins, occasional wedge-like terminals, and visibly uneven contours that create a worn, carved look. Counters are small and compressed, and the letterforms lean on tall verticals for structure, producing a compact, forceful rhythm across words and lines.
Best used at display sizes where the rough edges and condensed punch can do the work: posters, headlines, gig and festival flyers, album/mixtape artwork, and bold branding moments. It can also add a gritty accent for short callouts, labels, and merch graphics when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone feels loud and scrappy, with a rebellious, hand-damaged character that reads as playful rather than refined. Its irregular texture and slanted stance suggest energy, urgency, and a slightly chaotic humor—well suited to wilder, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal width while adding character through deliberate distortion and abrasion. Its slanted, compressed forms and battered finish prioritize attitude and immediacy over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive one-off voice in titles and graphic compositions.
In text settings the distressed silhouette creates strong texture and dark color, making spacing feel tight and punchy. The irregularities vary from glyph to glyph, which adds personality but can amplify visual noise at smaller sizes or in long passages.
