A heavy, chunky display face with an irregular, worn perimeter and slightly lumpy interior shapes, as if stamped or brush-inked on textured paper. Strokes are broadly consistent but visibly ragged, with rough bite-like nicks along outer contours and occasional swelling at joins. Counters are relatively tight and sometimes uneven, producing a dense color on the page; circular forms (O, o, 0) read as thick rings with imperfect symmetry. The overall construction stays upright and largely sans-like, but with subtly inconsistent curves, terminals, and widths that reinforce a handmade, distressed rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, album/track artwork, apparel graphics, packaging accents, and bold social media headlines where texture is part of the message. It can also work for title cards or signage when a rough, analog feel is desired, but is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY attitude—raw, imperfect, and energetic. Its rough texture suggests wear, noise, and analog printing artifacts, giving it a rebellious, street-level tone that can feel both edgy and mischievous.
Likely designed to deliver a bold display voice with intentional distressing—capturing the look of worn print, painted lettering, or stamped ink while keeping letterforms simple and immediately legible. The aim appears to be texture-forward impact rather than typographic refinement.
At text sizes it maintains strong impact but the distressed edges and tight counters can build visual noise, especially in dense passages. The numerals match the same rugged, ink-chipped texture and weight, keeping a cohesive look across alphanumerics.
