A heavy, brushy display face with irregular, chipped contours and mottled interiors that mimic worn ink or rough stamping. Strokes are thick and uneven with abrupt terminals, occasional nicks, and small voids that create a printed-on-paper texture. Letterforms keep mostly upright posture and simple construction, but with organic wobble and subtle width variation that adds a hand-rendered rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded, and the overall silhouette reads as chunky and compact with lively, imperfect edges.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, social graphics, album or event artwork, and bold packaging accents. It can work for brief blurbs or captions at larger sizes, but the distressed detail is most legible and intentional when given room to breathe.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade energy—part street-poster, part DIY craft—balancing toughness with a slightly playful bounce. Its distressed texture adds a raw, tactile tone that feels informal, bold, and a bit rebellious.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-inked or roughly printed lettering with deliberate wear, delivering an assertive display voice that feels tactile and human rather than mechanically precise.
In longer text settings the internal speckling and broken edges become a prominent pattern, giving blocks of copy a dark, textured color. The numerals match the same rugged treatment and maintain clear, sturdy shapes, reinforcing the poster-like character.
