A chunky, all-caps-friendly display face with heavily roughened contours and uneven stroke terminals that suggest worn printing or a hand-inked texture. Letterforms are compact and slightly irregular from glyph to glyph, with softened corners, occasional bulges, and subtle wobble in verticals and curves. Counters stay relatively open for the style, but interior shapes are not perfectly smooth, reinforcing a distressed, tactile surface. The rhythm reads steady at text size, while the edge noise adds constant visual activity.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture is part of the message: posters, event promos, album/playlist covers, beverage or food packaging, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for section headers or pull quotes when paired with a cleaner text face to balance the surface noise.
The font conveys a raw, gritty energy—casual, imperfect, and intentionally scruffy. Its texture evokes photocopied flyers, stamped packaging, or weathered signage, giving messages a lo-fi, analog character with a bit of rebellious warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver strong impact with an intentionally imperfect, printed-by-hand feel. By combining sturdy proportions with consistent edge distress, it aims to read quickly while projecting a worn, analog authenticity.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, keeping the set cohesive. Lowercase forms lean toward sturdy, simplified structures (notably single-storey shapes where applicable), and numerals match the same rough, ink-worn finish, making mixed-content settings feel unified.
