A chunky, hand-rendered roman with deliberately irregular outlines and soft, blobby terminals. Strokes keep a generally even thickness but wobble subtly, producing a printed/inked look with rough edges and occasional interior nicks. Counters are open and rounded, and the rhythm feels lively due to inconsistent stroke contours and slightly variable character widths. Overall proportions are straightforward and readable, with simple construction and minimal modulation, but the distressed texture is present across letters and figures.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, covers, merch graphics, packaging, and title treatments. It can work for short paragraphs at comfortable sizes, but the distressed edges and uneven contours read most clearly when given adequate size and spacing.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade tone—casual and a little unruly, like worn letterpress or marker lettering that’s been roughened by reproduction. Its imperfect texture adds attitude and charm, leaning toward playful grunge rather than aggressive distortion.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, vintage-leaning distressed voice by combining a simple, readable skeleton with intentionally roughened contours. The consistent inky wear across the glyphs suggests it’s built to add instant texture and character to otherwise straightforward typography.
Uppercase forms are bold and compact with softened corners, while the lowercase keeps simple, sturdy shapes that hold up in running text. Numerals match the same inky, irregular finish, keeping the set visually consistent for headings and short bursts of copy.
