A heavy, inked display face with rough, irregular contours and subtly broken interiors that mimic worn printing or distressed brush strokes. Letterforms are mostly upright with chunky stems, rounded counters, and uneven terminals that vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm. Stroke edges appear jagged and textured rather than smooth, and spacing feels slightly uneven, reinforcing the hand-made, printed-from-a-worn-block impression in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture is an asset—posters, cover art, labels, and themed packaging. It can work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but the distressed edges and uneven texture make it less ideal for long passages or small-size UI text.
The overall tone is gritty and tactile, suggesting age, wear, and analog reproduction. It carries a scrappy, rebellious energy that reads as gritty and artisanal rather than refined or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, vintage-leaning distressed look that feels printed, worn, and tactile. Its irregularities seem purposeful—adding character and atmosphere while keeping the underlying letterforms readable for display use.
Uppercase forms feel sturdier and more blocklike, while the lowercase introduces more wobble and idiosyncrasy, increasing texture in running text. Numerals match the same distressed treatment, with softened shapes and rough edges that keep them cohesive in headlines.
