A distressed display face with compact, upright letterforms and high-contrast strokes. Stems and curves are mostly solid and geometric at their core, but edges are aggressively roughened with jagged notches, burrs, and scraped-looking cut-ins that vary from glyph to glyph. Counters remain generally open and legible, while terminals often end in sharp, broken wedges, giving the outlines a chipped, worn-print texture. Overall spacing feels fairly steady, but the distressed contour introduces an intentionally uneven rhythm across the line.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, cover art, title cards, and branding marks that benefit from a distressed edge. It works particularly well when set large, where the rough contours and high-contrast stroke behavior remain clear without compromising legibility.
The font conveys a raw, abrasive tone—like ink dragged across paper or lettering eroded by wear. It reads as dark and energetic, with a DIY attitude that leans toward suspense, underground music, and gritty street aesthetics.
The design appears intended to combine a sturdy, readable display skeleton with a heavy distressed treatment, creating a dramatic texture without fully sacrificing letter recognition. Its irregular contouring suggests an aim for gritty, themed typography that feels printed, scratched, or weathered.
Uppercase forms appear sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in curved letters), reinforcing a handmade, imperfect finish. Numerals follow the same torn-edge treatment and hold up well at larger sizes where the texture becomes a defining feature.
