A chunky, condensed sans with heavy, mostly monoline strokes and visibly irregular outlines. Corners are blunted and slightly chipped, producing a rough, cut-paper or stamped look rather than crisp geometry. Counters are small and uneven, and many letters show subtle asymmetries and wobbly verticals that create an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Spacing and widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-made, distressed texture in continuous text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, album/cover art, and bold packaging callouts where texture is an asset. It can also work well for game titles or display branding that benefits from a gritty, handmade tone; for longer passages, its dense color and rough edges are likely to feel heavy.
The font reads loud and gritty, with a playful edge that feels DIY and lo-fi. Its rough contours suggest a tactile, analog process—stenciled, carved, or printed under imperfect conditions—giving headlines a rebellious, street-level energy.
The design appears intended as a display sans that prioritizes texture and attitude over neutrality. By combining condensed proportions with distressed, irregular contours, it aims to deliver immediate impact and a tactile, DIY character in large sizes.
Uppercase forms are compact and block-like, while the lowercase maintains the same heavy footprint with simplified shapes and tight apertures. Numerals match the overall rugged construction, staying bold and legible but with the same chipped-edge irregularity that makes the texture consistent across the set.
