A heavy, inked display face with monoline construction and visibly rough, eroded edges. Strokes are thick and compact with rounded terminals and frequent blobby swellings, creating an uneven silhouette as if from worn type, spongey ink spread, or distressed stamping. Counters are irregular and sometimes partially pinched, while curves stay broadly circular and corners are softened rather than sharply cut. Overall spacing and rhythm feel uniform and typewriter-like, but each glyph carries small variations in contour that keep the texture lively and imperfect.
Well-suited for short, attention-grabbing copy where texture is part of the message—posters, cover art, event graphics, packaging accents, and editorial or zine-style headlines. It can also work for brief captions or labels when a worn, printed feel is desired, though extended reading will emphasize the distressed texture.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade tone with an analog, lo-fi texture. Its distressed surface reads as informal and slightly rebellious, balancing ruggedness with a quirky, approachable character rather than outright aggression.
Likely designed to simulate imperfect printing and aged, distressed lettering while keeping a consistent, evenly spaced structure. The goal appears to be a bold, high-impact texture that feels handmade and tactile, adding character and grit to simple typographic compositions.
At text sizes the distressed edges merge into a consistent grain, while larger sizes reveal the individual nicks and ink blobs more clearly. Numerals and capitals maintain the same roughened treatment, helping the style stay cohesive across mixed alphanumeric settings.
