A heavy, upright face with compact, blocky letterforms and a chunky overall color. Strokes are broadly uniform but intentionally uneven, with scalloped, torn-looking contours and occasional blotting that creates ragged counters and softened corners. The proportions lean slightly condensed in the uppercase with sturdy verticals, while lowercase forms maintain simple, sturdy construction and a consistent rhythm. Numerals match the same inky texture and irregular outline, producing a deliberately worn, printed impression.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, apparel graphics, and packaging where the distressed texture can read clearly. It works well for branding in contexts that benefit from a rugged, handmade look—music, events, craft goods, or street-inspired visuals—especially at medium to large sizes.
The texture reads as gritty and tactile, like ink pressed through a rough surface or a distressed stamp. Its blunt shapes and frayed edges give it an energetic, DIY tone that feels informal and attention-seeking rather than refined. The overall impression is bold and friendly, with a rebellious, street-poster edge.
Likely designed to emulate worn printing and imperfect ink coverage while keeping letterforms simple and legible. The goal appears to be delivering a bold display voice with a consistent distressed treatment that adds texture and attitude without relying on complex letter construction.
Distress is applied consistently across the set, but the edge noise varies enough to keep repeated letters from feeling perfectly uniform. The heavy weight and softened details can cause interior spaces to close up at smaller sizes, making the texture a dominant feature in running text.
