A heavy, all-caps-forward display face with chunky, rounded forms and visibly irregular contours. Strokes look like they were made with a loaded brush or inked stamp: edges are wobbly, counters show occasional bite-marks and speckled voids, and terminals often end in soft, blunted shapes rather than clean cuts. Letter widths vary noticeably, and the texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified worn-print rhythm with strong silhouette readability at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, and event flyers where texture is a feature rather than a flaw. It also works well for branding accents on streetwear-inspired packaging and labels, or for creating a distressed sign-paint/stamp look in social graphics.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a casual, handmade confidence that feels a bit rebellious. Its imperfect ink texture and uneven shapes suggest street graphics, DIY zines, and worn signage, while the rounded construction keeps it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with deliberate wear and ink breakup, mimicking rough printing or hand-applied lettering. Its goal is impact and personality over precision, using texture and unevenness to create a tactile, DIY aesthetic.
In text settings the rough interior erosion becomes more apparent, adding a mottled, printed-on-paper feel. Spacing and rhythm lean informal, and the texture can visually fill in at smaller sizes, making it most effective when given room to breathe.
