A condensed, all-caps-friendly display face with thick strokes and visibly rough, eroded contours. Letterforms show uneven inking, speckled interiors, and slightly irregular stroke edges that mimic worn printing or a dry-brush marker. Curves are simplified and somewhat squared-off, counters are compact, and spacing feels tight with a lively, uneven rhythm. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same rugged texture, with small, inconsistent ink breaks that add visual noise and character.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging labels, event graphics, and bold wordmarks where a rugged, analog texture is desired. It can also work well for apparel graphics and stickers, especially when paired with simple layouts and generous leading.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, with a casual, slightly mischievous energy. Its distressed texture suggests analog production—stamped, screen-printed, or printed on rough stock—giving it a rebellious, DIY voice that feels informal and attention-seeking rather than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact display voice with intentionally imperfect edges and ink wear, recreating the feel of distressed print or hand-inked lettering. The consistent rough texture across letters and figures suggests it’s built to add instant grit and personality to otherwise straightforward forms.
Texture remains consistent across the set, with repeated flecks and edge chipping that become more pronounced at larger sizes. The condensed proportions and compact counters make the face read best when given enough size and contrast, where the roughness becomes a feature rather than clutter.
