A heavy, rounded display face with chunky strokes and softly squared curves. The outlines are deliberately irregular, with rough edges, small nicks, and occasional interior voids that create a blotchy printed texture. Counters are generally open but uneven, and terminals end bluntly rather than with crisp cuts. Widths vary noticeably from letter to letter, giving the alphabet a lively, handcrafted rhythm while remaining upright and readable in short bursts.
Best suited for headlines and display applications where texture is an asset—posters, flyers, album or playlist artwork, streetwear graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short, high-impact captions on social media or editorial openers, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for body copy.
The overall tone is gritty and informal, combining a DIY, hand-inked feel with a bold poster-like presence. The distressed texture adds a worn, lo-fi character that reads as rebellious and energetic rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect, worn printing aesthetic—evoking hand-made signage, rough stamping, or ink-heavy reproduction while keeping forms simple enough to stay legible in display settings.
Texture is baked into the letterforms, so dark areas can fill in at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the speckled wear and rough contour. The figures and lowercase share the same uneven, stamped look, helping the font feel cohesive across headlines and short statements.
