A rough, hand-rendered sans with irregular, slightly wobbly strokes and visibly distressed contours. Terminals are blunt and softened, with intermittent thickening that suggests uneven inking or worn printing. Counters stay generally open and round, while curves and verticals show subtle waviness that creates a lively, imperfect rhythm across words. The overall construction remains straightforward and legible, but the texture dominates the silhouette, especially in rounded forms and along outer edges.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, packaging, labels, album/merch graphics, and editorial headlines. It can work for short text and pull quotes when you want an analog, worn look, but the heavy edge texture may reduce clarity at very small sizes or in long passages.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade character—casual and approachable, but also rugged and worn. Its distressed texture evokes analog processes like stamp, brush, or aged print, lending an authentic, imperfect tone that feels lived-in rather than polished.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect, tactile lettering—like ink applied unevenly and then degraded through reproduction—while keeping familiar, simple letterforms for dependable readability. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture over pristine geometry, making it a strong choice for themed, character-driven typography.
Spacing and alignment feel intentionally loose, with slight inconsistencies in stroke edges that read as natural variation rather than geometric precision. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) showing the most pronounced edge breakup.
