This typeface uses compact, heavy letterforms built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) masses, producing broad counters and sturdy silhouettes. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but with subtle irregularities and edge breakup that mimic worn ink or rough printing. Terminals tend to be blunt with softened corners, and curves are squarish rather than fully circular, giving the forms a blocky, stamped character. Spacing appears tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with uneven texture that becomes a defining part of the letterforms.
Well-suited to display settings such as posters, event graphics, packaging, apparel, and signage where a tough, vintage-leaning voice is helpful. It works especially well for short bursts of text—titles, labels, and callouts—where the distressed texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone is bold and gritty, evoking vintage poster lettering, rubber-stamp marks, and distressed print ephemera. It feels informal and assertive—more handmade than engineered—adding a rough, tactile energy to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a worn, analog print feel, combining blocky rounded geometry with deliberate imperfections to suggest authenticity and age. Its compact, sturdy construction supports attention-grabbing display typography while the distressed edges add personality and attitude.
The distressing is integrated into both exterior edges and interior counters, so the black areas read as textured rather than clean. At larger sizes the irregularities add character; at smaller sizes they may merge into a darker, noisier texture, especially in enclosed shapes.
