A chunky, block-driven sans with slightly condensed, squarish counters and a deliberately uneven silhouette. Strokes feel brush-or-inked with roughened edges, occasional nicks, and intermittent interior speckling that suggests worn printing or dry-ink texture. Corners are mostly blunt and angular, with simplified joins and short, assertive terminals; curves are squared-off rather than smoothly rounded. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, creating a lively rhythm while maintaining a consistent heavy color and strong presence in text.
Best suited for display typography where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, album/playlist artwork, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for short bursts of text or punchy captions, but the intentionally rough edges and variable rhythm make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and DIY, like hand-painted signage or a distressed poster pull. Its rough texture and compact shapes give it an energetic, rebellious edge while still reading as playful and graphic.
The design appears intended to emulate imperfect, hand-made letterforms with a distressed print finish, prioritizing attitude and texture over precision. It aims to deliver a strong, immediate impact with a gritty, screen-printed or hand-stamped feel.
Uppercase forms are especially boxy and emblematic, while the lowercase retains the same chiseled, distressed construction, helping the family feel cohesive across settings. Numerals match the sturdy, worn look and read well at display sizes where the texture becomes a feature.
