A heavy, compact sans with chunky strokes and visibly irregular contours. Terminals look blunt and brushy, with ragged edges that suggest worn printing or a hand-inked stamp, while counters remain fairly open for the weight. The letterforms keep an upright stance and simple construction, but introduce subtle wobble in curves and diagonals, creating an uneven rhythm and slightly noisy texture across lines of text.
Best suited to short headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and branding moments where texture is part of the message. It also works well for album art, event flyers, and merchandise graphics, especially when you want an intentionally imperfect, printed-on-paper feel.
The font conveys a gritty, analog personality—casual and imperfect rather than polished. Its distressed texture reads as rebellious and tactile, evoking DIY posters, screen-printed merch, and retro ephemera with a slightly humorous edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing headline voice with built-in distress, mimicking the artifacts of rough printing, dry brush strokes, or worn rubber-stamp impressions. Its simplified forms prioritize impact and character over clinical uniformity.
Uppercase shapes are sturdy and blocky with softened corners, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable silhouette despite the roughened outlines. Numerals share the same ink-worn texture and feel cohesive in weight and presence, giving headings a consistent, stamped look.
