A condensed, heavy display face with hand-rendered construction and visibly rough, irregular edges. Strokes feel brushy and inked, with small nicks, soft corners, and uneven terminals that suggest worn printing or dry-brush texture. Counters are compact and slightly inconsistent, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than mechanical, with subtle width and shape variation from glyph to glyph. The numerals and capitals maintain strong presence and simple silhouettes, prioritizing impact over refinement at smaller sizes.
Best suited to display applications where texture is a feature: posters, album/cover art, event flyers, packaging, and branded merch. It works well for short headlines, punchy taglines, and bold callouts where a rough, analog feel adds character.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade energy—part poster, part stamped label—with a casual, slightly mischievous tone. Its distressed texture reads as informal and human, adding attitude and immediacy to short phrases and headlines.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect ink on paper—somewhere between brush lettering and worn rubber-stamp printing—delivering a strong, condensed silhouette with deliberate distressing for themed, attention-grabbing typography.
Text samples show the texture remains prominent across lines, creating a darker typographic color and a tactile, printed feel. The distressing is consistent enough to hold together in words, but the roughness can reduce clarity in dense settings, especially where tight counters and texture compete.
