A compact, slanted display sans with hefty strokes and softly rounded corners. The letterforms have an intentionally uneven, worn texture with small chips and speckling through the counters and along some edges, creating a printed/inked irregularity rather than clean outlines. Terminals are mostly blunt, curves are full and simplified, and spacing is tight, giving words a dense, punchy rhythm. Numerals share the same chunky, rounded construction and distressed surface, staying visually consistent across the set.
Works best for posters, headlines, and promotional copy where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also suits packaging, labels, and social graphics that want a rugged, retro-printed feel. Use sparingly for longer passages, or increase size/spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels bold and high-energy, with a casual, mischievous character. The roughened finish adds a handmade, poster-like authenticity that reads as vintage and street-level rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a lively italic rhythm while adding a deliberately weathered finish reminiscent of worn signage or rough print processes. The goal appears to be a bold display voice that feels human, imperfect, and energetic.
The texture is prominent at larger sizes and can become visually busy as the size drops, especially in dense text blocks. The combination of slant, heavy mass, and compact widths makes it particularly attention-grabbing in short bursts.
