A heavy, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with chunky silhouettes and conspicuously rough, broken contours. Strokes look brushy and inked-in, with uneven terminals, small nicks, and occasional interior voids that mimic worn printing or a dry marker. Curves are broad and simplified, counters tend to be tight, and spacing feels lively rather than strictly geometric; overall widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade rhythm. Figures are stout and similarly distressed, matching the letterforms in texture and weight.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, covers, labels, and packaging where a gritty handmade texture is desirable. It can also work for event promotion graphics, stickers, and social tiles where strong silhouette and personality matter more than long-form readability.
The font reads as loud and tactile, with a gritty, DIY energy that feels more like stamped or painted lettering than clean digital type. Its softened shapes keep the roughness friendly, giving it a playful, mischievous tone rather than a harsh industrial one.
Likely designed to deliver an assertive, print-worn look with the immediacy of hand-rendered lettering. The combination of thick forms and intentionally imperfect edges suggests a focus on creating a textured, analog feel that stays legible in bold display applications.
The distressing is consistent across the set, so text blocks maintain a cohesive texture, but the irregular edges create a darker color and reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The bold massing holds up well in short bursts, where the rough details register as character rather than noise.
