A heavy, blocky sans with softened corners and an intentionally uneven, ink-pressed texture. Letterforms are broad and compact, with simple geometry, minimal modulation, and frequent interior pitting that creates a worn, blotched counterspace. Strokes look slightly wobbly and irregular at the edges, as if stamped or printed from a distressed plate, while spacing stays rigid and consistent for an orderly grid-like rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album covers, event flyers, and merchandise where texture is an asset. It can also work for themed packaging or labels that benefit from a worn print feel, but the internal distressing suggests using larger sizes for comfortable reading.
The overall tone feels gritty and handmade, with a zine/DIY energy that reads as casual, rebellious, and a bit mischievous. The distressed fill adds a vintage, screen-printed vibe, helping otherwise straightforward forms feel tactile and imperfect.
The design appears aimed at delivering a strong, graphic silhouette while baking in a deliberately imperfect print texture, evoking stamped or rough-printed lettering. Its consistent set width and sturdy shapes prioritize punchy display presence with a controlled, grid-like rhythm.
Counters in letters like O, P, R, and a often show intentional voids and speckling, which increases character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky, textured construction, keeping a cohesive, poster-friendly look across text and figures.
