A compact, slightly condensed Latin with visibly ragged, inked edges that mimic worn printing or a dry-brush marker. Strokes stay mostly monoline with softly blunted terminals and irregular contour wobble, producing a consistent distressed texture across letters and numerals. Counters are simple and open, curves are slightly lumpy rather than geometric, and spacing feels uneven in a natural, handmade way; the result reads like a battered typewriter or rubber-stamp impression. In text, the rough outline accumulates into a peppery rhythm that remains legible while clearly prioritizing texture over crisp precision.
Best suited to display settings where texture is part of the message: posters, covers, merch graphics, craft packaging, event promos, and editorial pull quotes. It can work for short passages when set with generous size and spacing, but the rough perimeter is most effective in headlines and subheads where the distress can be appreciated.
The overall tone is gritty and analog—suggesting photocopies, zines, field notes, or aged signage. It conveys an informal, human presence with a deliberately imperfect finish, balancing approachability with a slightly rebellious, DIY attitude.
The design appears intended to emulate imperfect ink transfer and time-worn reproduction, delivering a ready-made distressed look without additional effects. Its compact proportions and steady stroke weight support straightforward readability while the irregular outline supplies character and atmosphere.
The distressed edge treatment is fairly uniform across the set, giving paragraphs a cohesive grain rather than random damage. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same worn perimeter, helping mixed-case settings and headlines feel consistently “printed” rather than digitally clean.
