A heavy, inked sans with rounded terminals and noticeably irregular contours, as if stamped or written with a loaded marker on textured paper. Strokes stay generally monolinear but wobble in width, with nicks, bumps, and occasional interior speckling that create a worn, blotty texture. Counters are compact and sometimes partially crowded by the rough edges, while the overall proportions remain straightforward and readable. The rhythm is lively and slightly unstable, with small variations in stroke endings and curve smoothness that emphasize a handmade, printed-imperfection look.
Best suited for headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where texture is desirable—posters, album/cover art, apparel graphics, product packaging, and event promos. It can also work for pull quotes or branding accents when paired with a cleaner companion for body copy.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY attitude—more zine, poster, and street-flyer than polished corporate. Its rough edges and inky build suggest analog processes like rubber stamps, screenprint pull, or distressed packaging, giving copy an energetic, slightly rebellious voice.
Designed to deliver the immediacy of hand-inked lettering with deliberate printing wear, balancing simple letterforms with a consistently rough outline so the distressed character reads clearly at display sizes.
In longer text, the texture becomes a defining feature: the distressed perimeter and occasional fill irregularities create a dark color on the page and a tactile presence. Uppercase forms read stout and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains a friendly, casual tone through rounded shapes and soft joins.
