A heavy, blocky display face with simplified sans forms and uneven, abraded contours. Strokes are thick with slightly wobbly geometry and frequent nicks, chips, and filled-in counters that create a worn inked texture. Terminals look torn or stamped, and curves (notably in C, O, S) appear slightly flattened and irregular, giving the alphabet a sturdy, compact rhythm. Numerals match the same chunky construction, with consistent distressing and occasional interior speckling that suggests imperfect printing.
Best suited for posters, flyers, packaging, labels, and merchandise where bold shapes and textured character can carry the design. It works well for short headlines, logos, and callouts, and can add a worn print feel to titles in music, streetwear, or themed promotional graphics.
The overall tone feels gritty and handmade, with a casual, slightly mischievous energy. Its rough edges and blotchy texture evoke DIY printing, skate/garage aesthetics, and poster graphics, reading more expressive than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an intentionally imperfect, printed-by-hand look. By combining thick, simplified letterforms with consistent erosion and speckling, it aims to communicate authenticity, grit, and a tactile, analog texture in display settings.
The distressed treatment is fairly consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so the texture becomes part of the letter identity rather than an occasional effect. The face maintains strong silhouette clarity despite the erosion, making it suitable for short, high-impact text where the roughness can be appreciated.
