A rough, hand-rendered sans with thick, ink-like strokes and noticeably irregular edges. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous internal space, and the outlines wobble subtly as if made with a brush marker or absorbed printing. Strokes show uneven pressure and slight bulges, producing a textured silhouette rather than crisp geometry. Terminals are generally blunt and rounded, and counters are slightly lumpy, giving the alphabet a consistently worn, imperfect finish while remaining legible in continuous text.
Best suited to display settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated: posters, album/cover art, event flyers, and bold packaging or labels. It also works for punchy headlines, pull quotes, and short passages that want an intentionally rough, handmade feel rather than clean typographic neutrality.
The overall tone feels gritty and human—more zine and street-poster than polished editorial. Its imperfect outlines and blotty rhythm suggest spontaneity, attitude, and a tactile, analog process, balancing a friendly informality with a slightly rebellious edge.
Likely designed to simulate imperfect ink on paper—combining a simple, readable skeleton with deliberate outline wear and marker-like waviness. The goal appears to be an easy-to-use distressed display face that injects tactility and grit into modern layouts without sacrificing basic readability.
In the sample text, the texture reads as intentional distress rather than random noise, with consistent roughness across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The wide stance and chunky strokes help it hold up in short blocks of copy, though the irregular contours add visual buzz that becomes more noticeable as size decreases.
