A heavy, blocky sans with compact proportions and strongly inked shapes. Letterforms are built from simple geometric masses, but their outlines are intentionally irregular, with chiseled, torn-looking edges and small nicks that create a printed/hand-cut texture. Counters are generally small and sometimes uneven, and the stroke ends look blunt rather than cleanly machined. Spacing reads sturdy and tight, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm in both all-caps and mixed-case settings; the lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey construction where visible (a, g) and maintains the same roughened silhouette.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing typography such as posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and merchandise graphics where texture is an asset. It also works well for event promos, DIY/editorial callouts, and album or podcast artwork that benefits from a rough, tactile presence.
The texture and broken edges give the font a raw, analog feel—like stamped ink, screen print, or cut-paper lettering. It projects an energetic, gritty tone that feels casual and bold rather than refined, with a slightly mischievous, poster-like personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect, handmade texture—capturing the look of bold display type that has been stamped, worn, or cut by hand while keeping the underlying forms simple and legible.
The distressed perimeter detail is consistent across letters and numerals, so the texture reads as a deliberate design feature rather than random noise. In longer lines, the dense color and irregular edges add character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially where counters are tight (e.g., B, R, 8, 9).
