A heavy, chunky display face with uneven contours and visibly distressed edges that mimic worn ink or rough stamping. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified, compact shapes, large counters, and softly rounded corners that occasionally flatten into slab-like terminals. Stroke weight stays broadly consistent, but the outlines wobble and nick in a way that creates a lively, imperfect rhythm across words. Spacing and widths feel organic rather than strictly modular, reinforcing the handmade, printed texture.
Best suited to high-impact display settings where texture is part of the message—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, album art, and event flyers. The dense weight and rugged edges help it stand out on simple backgrounds and in short phrases, while the distressed detailing adds character without needing additional effects.
The overall tone is bold and gritty with a humorous, DIY energy. Its rough ink texture evokes vintage posters, worn labels, and low-fi print processes, balancing toughness with a slightly cartoonish warmth.
Likely designed to deliver strong, attention-grabbing titles with a worn, inked-in texture that suggests analog printing and imperfect production. The intention reads as expressive and tactile rather than neutral, prioritizing personality and atmosphere for themed graphic work.
Capitals read as sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase keeps similarly stout proportions and simple structures, helping maintain impact in short lines. Numerals are equally weighty and irregular, matching the distressed texture for cohesive titling and signage-style use.
