A rough, inked display face with irregular, distressed contours and subtly uneven stroke thickness that suggests worn printing or a dry marker. Terminals are blunted and occasionally fray, with small gaps and nicks along edges that create a speckled, imperfect silhouette. Forms stay generally simple and readable, with open counters and rounded bends, but the outlines wobble slightly and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic rhythm across words and lines.
Works best in display settings such as posters, packaging, album covers, and event promotions where texture adds atmosphere. It can also suit short bursts of copy—pull quotes, labels, or headers—when you want a worn, analog feel without sacrificing basic readability.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect, weathered feel. It evokes utilitarian signage, DIY posters, and aged ephemera where ink spread and surface texture become part of the character.
Likely designed to simulate imperfect ink on paper and the character of aged, distressed lettering while remaining practical for punchy titles. The intent appears to be an easy-to-use, textured display option that instantly adds grit and a handcrafted edge to layouts.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed texture treatment, keeping a consistent “printed-worn” voice across the set. The figures follow the same rough-edge logic, making the font suitable for typographic systems that need letters and numerals to feel equally tactile.
