A chunky, heavy display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and visibly uneven stroke edges. Forms are largely monoline in feel but fluctuate subtly due to the rough perimeter and occasional notches, giving a printed-from-worn-plate look. Counters are compact and sometimes asymmetrical, with simplified, sturdy constructions that keep letters readable at large sizes. Spacing appears slightly loose and the baseline feels gently unsettled, reinforcing an analog, handmade rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, event promos, and packaging where texture is a feature rather than a flaw. It will also work for logos and badges that benefit from a gritty, handmade stamp effect, but is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI sizes where the distressed edges can accumulate visual noise.
The font conveys a raw, tactile energy—part street-poster, part DIY zine. Its roughened silhouettes and blunted terminals create an assertive, messy charm that feels informal, loud, and deliberately imperfect.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-rendered lettering or rough printmaking, prioritizing character and texture over precision. Its consistent distressing and simplified shapes suggest it’s built to deliver an immediate, tactile presence in display settings.
Round characters (like O and 0) read as thick, slightly lumpy ovals, while straighter letters retain waviness along verticals and diagonals. The numerals match the same distressed treatment, keeping the overall texture consistent when mixing text and figures.
