A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans with compact proportions and rounded, blocky counters. Strokes appear brushy and distressed, with visibly ragged edges, small nicks, and uneven ink coverage that creates a mottled silhouette. Curves are broadly circular but slightly flattened in places, and joins/terminals tend to end bluntly rather than crisply cut. Spacing reads sturdy and tight, with a lively, imperfect rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, punchy headlines, packaging labels, and merchandise graphics where the rough texture can read as a deliberate stylistic cue. It can also work for bold social graphics and event promos, especially when paired with a cleaner secondary text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is gritty and tactile, evoking ink stamping, screen print wear, or dry-brush lettering. It feels casual and energetic rather than refined, with a handmade confidence that adds attitude and a touch of retro poster roughness.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans foundation with an intentionally distressed, ink-worn finish, giving designers a quick way to add tactile, printed character without losing legibility.
Despite the distressed texture, letterforms remain clear at display sizes, aided by large counters and simple sans construction. The texture is consistent across the set, so repeated characters feel intentionally weathered rather than randomly degraded.
