A heavy, monoline alphabet with chunky proportions and noticeably irregular contours. Strokes look as if they were printed with excess ink: edges are wobbly, counters are imperfect, and terminals often end in rounded, blunted shapes. The overall geometry reads as simplified and sturdy, with consistent character widths and a steady baseline rhythm despite the deliberate deformation and texture.
Best suited to display settings where texture and character are the point: music and event posters, editorial headlines, zines, and gritty branding elements. It also works for packaging accents or labels when you want a stamped/printed feel, and for short quotations where legibility can trade slightly for atmosphere.
The font projects a gritty, underground tone—like a worn typewriter ribbon or a distressed rubber stamp. Its roughness feels tactile and handmade, lending an immediate sense of age, noise, and attitude.
The design appears intended to emulate imperfect, ink-heavy printing with consistent spacing, combining a typewriter-like structure with deliberately distressed outlines. It aims to provide a bold, expressive texture that reads quickly while still feeling analog and rough.
Texture varies within and across letters, creating a lightly mottled silhouette that becomes more apparent at larger sizes. The distressed shaping reduces crispness in small text, but gives headings and short bursts of copy a strong, poster-like presence.
