A very heavy, slanted display sans with chunky strokes, rounded corners, and compact counters. The forms lean consistently to the right, with a lively, slightly uneven rhythm and occasional ink-trap-like notches and cut-ins. Interior texture appears worn and speckled, creating a printed/aged look rather than clean solids. Letterforms are simplified and sturdy, with broad terminals and a generally geometric, poster-friendly structure.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, event promos, brand marks, packaging callouts, and apparel graphics where the worn texture can contribute character. It can also work for bold social graphics and signage-style compositions, especially when a rugged, printed feel is desired.
The font projects a gritty, energetic tone—like hand-printed signage or bold headlines that have been rubbed, stamped, or screen-printed repeatedly. Its mix of friendly roundness and rough texture reads confident and loud, with a casual, slightly rebellious edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a slanted, punchy silhouette while adding an intentionally weathered surface for a tactile, analog impression.
The distressed pattern is visible inside strokes and counters, and it becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Numerals match the heavy, rounded construction, maintaining a cohesive headline presence.
