A heavy, all-caps–leaning display face with squarish construction, tall proportions, and largely straight-sided strokes. The contours are intentionally rough, with chipped edges and uneven inking that creates speckled counters and irregular stroke boundaries. Terminals tend to be blunt and flat, with occasional wedge-like cuts that add a hand-carved feel. Spacing reads slightly jittery due to irregular sidebearings and varied letter widths, reinforcing the distressed rhythm in text.
Best suited for short display settings where texture is an asset: posters, flyers, cover art, merch graphics, and bold branding moments. It can also work for labels and packaging that want a rugged, printed-by-hand impression, but is less ideal for long body copy or very small text where the distress may compete with readability.
The overall tone is gritty and assertive, evoking DIY print, worn signage, and underground poster culture. Its distressed texture adds a sense of age, friction, and attitude, making it feel more tactile than polished.
The design appears intended to combine solid, blocky letterforms with a deliberate worn-print texture to simulate imperfect ink coverage and aged surfaces. It aims to deliver strong presence while signaling grit and authenticity through consistent distress across the set.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so the “weathered ink” effect stays coherent in paragraphs. The forms remain mostly geometric and legible, but the intentional roughness and narrow apertures can thicken at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs.
