A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and a strongly textured outline. Strokes are thick and generally uniform, but the edges are intentionally ragged and uneven, producing a stamped or ink-blot look rather than a clean geometric finish. Letterforms are mostly upright with wide, blocky proportions and softly rounded corners; joins and terminals appear blunt, with occasional nicks and notches that create a lively, distressed silhouette. Overall spacing reads open and sturdy, with simplified shapes that keep the forms legible despite the rough perimeter.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, titles, packaging fronts, and promotional graphics where a rugged, handmade texture is desirable. It can also work for playful branding, event flyers, and merchandise, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for supporting copy.
The font conveys a handmade, gritty energy—playful and bold, with a zine-like, DIY attitude. Its roughened contours suggest printing artifacts or worn signage, giving it an informal, expressive voice that feels more tactile than technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans structure with an intentionally distressed, inked finish—capturing the feel of stamped type, rough printing, or worn display lettering while maintaining straightforward, readable silhouettes.
The distressed texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, making the style feel cohesive in longer text. In paragraph settings the rugged edges create a strong dark color and visual noise, so it reads best when the texture is part of the intended aesthetic rather than when neutrality is required.
