A heavy, inked display face with irregular, roughened edges and slightly blobby terminals that suggest worn printing or a marker-and-paper texture. Strokes stay generally consistent in thickness, but the outlines wobble and chip, creating a lively, imperfect silhouette. Letterforms are simple and sturdy with compact counters and a fairly even vertical stance, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the line a hand-set rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same distressed texture, maintaining a cohesive, poster-friendly presence.
Best suited for short-form typography where texture and attitude matter: posters, gig flyers, album covers, event headlines, and branded graphics that want an intentionally rough, printed look. It can also work on packaging or merchandise graphics when set at sizes large enough to preserve the distressed detail.
The overall tone is gritty and analog, like stamped letters or screen-printed type that has picked up wear and ink spread. It reads casual and energetic rather than refined, with a slightly mischievous, DIY character that feels at home in vintage or underground contexts.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect, tactile lettering—evoking worn ink, stamped impressions, or rough print runs—while keeping the underlying shapes clear and readable for impactful display use.
The texture is strong enough to be a defining feature, so small sizes may close up in tighter counters and joins; it tends to reward larger settings where the edge detail can be seen. Spacing appears straightforward and stable in text samples, with the distress providing most of the visual movement.
