This typeface uses heavy, chunky letterforms with rounded corners and visibly rough, uneven contours. Strokes look brushy or ink-stamped, with small nicks, wobble, and occasional interior speckling that creates a worn print texture. Proportions are generally broad and compact, with simplified shapes and a slightly irregular rhythm from glyph to glyph. The lowercase is single-storey and sturdy, with short, thick joins and a consistent, hand-rendered feel across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, apparel graphics, and packaging where a gritty, printed texture is desirable. It can also work for event promotions and covers where a loud, handcrafted display presence helps set an informal tone.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, like DIY signage or a distressed screen print. Its rough edges and inky texture add attitude and a casual, imperfect charm that reads as handmade rather than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic thick hand-painted or stamped lettering that has been roughened through wear or imperfect printing. Its simplified, sturdy structures prioritize impact and character over precision, emphasizing texture and attitude for display use.
At text sizes the distressed contouring becomes a dominant feature, so spacing and counters can feel tight; it performs best when the texture is allowed to be seen. The numerals match the same chunky construction and worn edges, supporting a cohesive display voice.
