A rough, marker-like sans with chunky strokes and uneven, distressed edges. Letterforms are broadly constructed from simple geometric skeletons, but the outlines wobble and the interiors show streaks, nicks, and patchy fill that mimic dry-brush or worn printing. Corners are softly squared rather than sharp, and curves are slightly flattened, producing a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, reinforcing an improvised, hand-rendered rhythm.
Best suited to display applications where texture is a feature: posters, flyers, album art, apparel graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for short captions or pull quotes when a handmade, distressed voice is desired, but the rough fill and irregular edges will dominate at smaller sizes.
The overall tone feels gritty and handmade, with a lo-fi, DIY character that reads as rebellious and energetic rather than refined. Its distressed texture suggests tactile ink, screenprint wear, or photocopied ephemera, giving headlines a lively, imperfect presence.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-painted or marker-drawn lettering with added wear, delivering bold readability while preserving a deliberately imperfect, grunge texture for expressive branding and display typography.
Capitals carry most of the visual punch, with dense black mass and prominent internal streaking, while lowercase stays comparatively simpler and more legible at text sizes. Numerals match the rugged texture and maintain the same blunt, rounded construction, helping the set feel cohesive in display contexts.
