A condensed, all-purpose sans with thick, blunt strokes and softly irregular outlines that mimic worn ink or rough printing. Curves and terminals are rounded and slightly wobbly, giving counters an organic, uneven silhouette while maintaining clear, sturdy letterforms. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with compact proportions and a straightforward, upright rhythm that reads best at display sizes.
Well-suited for short headlines and titles where texture and personality are desirable—posters, gig flyers, product labels, and bold signage. It can also work for branding accents or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve the rough edge detail.
The overall tone feels rugged and tactile—like stamped packaging, screen-printed posters, or distressed signage. Its friendly, slightly clumsy irregularity adds a playful, human touch while still projecting toughness and impact.
Designed to deliver strong impact with a convincingly imperfect, printed-by-hand feel. The goal appears to be a sturdy condensed display face that adds grit and warmth without sacrificing basic legibility.
The distressed edge treatment is noticeable even in simpler shapes, creating a mottled perimeter that adds character but can soften fine details at small sizes. Numerals match the same chunky, worn-in construction, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-ready voice.
