A condensed, chunky sans with squarish proportions and visibly irregular contours. Strokes are heavy with slightly inconsistent width, showing rough edges, small dents, and occasional interior speckling that suggests worn ink or dry-brush/marker texture. Curves are simplified into rounded-rectangle forms, counters tend to be small and boxy, and terminals often end bluntly with subtle wobble. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-made, imperfect rhythm rather than a rigid geometric build.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and personality are an asset: posters, headlines, packaging, event graphics, album artwork, and bold UI labels in games or themed projects. It can also work for logos or badges where a rugged, printed-by-hand feel is desired, but the distressed detail may be less effective at very small sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, handcrafted energy that feels casual and slightly mischievous. Its distressed texture and uneven stroke behavior give it a DIY, screen-printed or stamped character, making it read as expressive rather than refined.
The design appears intended to emulate imperfect, ink-worn lettering—like a hand-cut stencil, rough marker draw, or lightly degraded print—while keeping letterforms simple and compact for strong silhouette recognition. The controlled narrow build and consistent blockiness prioritize punchy presence, while the irregular edges add attitude and theme.
Uppercase forms are generally tall and compact with straight-sided geometry, while lowercase retains the same blocky construction and simplified bowls, producing a cohesive but intentionally rough texture across text. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular logic, keeping the set visually consistent for display use.
