A compact, heavy display face built from chunky, rounded-rectangle forms with softened corners and slightly irregular outlines. The strokes feel dense and inky, with scattered internal speckling and roughened edges that mimic worn printing or a stamped impression. Counters are relatively tight and simple, terminals are blunt, and the overall rhythm is steady while still showing small, deliberate variations that keep it from feeling mechanical.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and bold packaging where the worn texture can be appreciated. It also works well for themed graphics—music, food, streetwear, and vintage-inspired promotional materials—especially when you want a rough, stamped look that still reads clearly.
The font reads bold and mischievous, with a gritty, hands-on character that suggests DIY printmaking and well-used signage. Its distressed texture adds attitude and energy, keeping the tone casual and a little rowdy rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, condensed block structure while adding a convincingly imperfect, weathered print texture. The goal appears to be a display face that feels analog and tactile, evoking ink spread and wear without sacrificing straightforward readability.
The distressing is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive “printed-through-ink” texture that stays legible at larger sizes. In continuous text it produces a dark, compact color, with the roughness contributing most of the personality rather than intricate letter detailing.
