A heavily inked display face with compact proportions and irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with visibly wobbly edges and small notches that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are frequently reduced or collapsed, leaving many letters as solid, blob-like forms; the remaining openings are small and inconsistent. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across characters, giving the alphabet a restless rhythm and a deliberately imperfect texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, album or gig artwork, and packaging where a rough, stamped presence is desirable. It can also work for badges, labels, and humorous or spooky seasonal graphics, but is less appropriate for long passages or small UI text due to its dense shapes and reduced counters.
The font projects a gritty, DIY attitude—part handmade stamp, part worn print. Its softened corners and uneven outlines keep it approachable rather than aggressive, lending a playful, scrappy energy that feels informal and tactile.
The design appears intended to mimic solid, ink-heavy lettering produced by stamping, screen printing, or hand-cut shapes, emphasizing texture and silhouette over clean internal detail. Its intentionally uneven rhythm and collapsed counters prioritize character and atmosphere for display settings.
Legibility depends strongly on size: the collapsed interiors and heavy massing make letterforms read best when set large, where the rough perimeter detail becomes a defining feature. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping headlines maintain a cohesive, distressed voice.
