A heavy, inked display face with chunky silhouettes and visibly rough, irregular contours. Strokes look brushy and pressure-worn, with wavy edges, occasional nicks, and slight interior bite marks that create a printed-by-hand texture. Counters are generally compact and rounded, terminals are blunt, and the overall geometry is simplified into sturdy, slightly squashed forms. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing an improvised, hand-rendered rhythm while staying legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logos, and cover art where the rough texture can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and merchandise that benefits from a handmade, gritty tone. For longer passages, the heavy weight and uneven edges are likely to feel dense, so larger sizes and generous line spacing are recommended.
The font conveys a loud, scrappy energy—part DIY poster, part rough stamp—balancing friendliness with a gritty attitude. Its texture reads as tactile and imperfect, suggesting zines, band flyers, and hand-painted signage rather than polished editorial typography.
Likely designed to emulate bold hand-lettering or worn screen print, capturing the look of ink laid down imperfectly on paper. The goal appears to be maximum impact with a tactile, distressed surface—prioritizing character and attitude over strict typographic regularity.
Lowercase forms keep a consistent, compact x-height and rounded bowls, while the uppercase alphabet retains the same rugged edge treatment and weight. Numerals match the letterforms with thick, simplified shapes and slightly uneven curves, maintaining a cohesive distressed texture across the set.
