A heavy, brushy display face with irregular, textured contours that suggest worn printing or inked strokes on absorbent paper. Stems and bowls show noticeable tapering and swelling, with choppy terminals and uneven edge bite that creates a lively rhythm across words. Uppercase forms are robust and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable skeleton with rounded counters and occasional quirky proportions. Numerals match the same blunt, hand-rendered construction, maintaining strong color and confident presence.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, rustic packaging, labels, and cover typography where a worn, handmade look is desirable. It can work for short text blocks in editorial or promotional settings when a strong, textured voice is needed, but it will read most clearly when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, with a vintage, workshop-made charm. Its roughened texture reads as authentic and tactile, leaning toward rustic signage and printed ephemera rather than polished contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-inked or rough-printed letterforms, emphasizing texture, irregularity, and strong dark coverage. It prioritizes character and physicality over geometric precision, aiming for a bold, authentic, slightly weathered impression.
The texture is consistent enough to hold together in text, but the strong edge irregularity and contrasty stroke modulation make it most convincing at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed detail can be appreciated. Curves often end in flattened, slightly smeared terminals, reinforcing the impression of imperfect inking and physical print artifacts.
