A compact, heavy display face with irregular, distressed contours and visible interior nicks that mimic worn ink or rough printing. Strokes are mostly straight and upright with tight sidebearings and small counters, giving lines a dense, punchy rhythm. Terminals and joins vary subtly from glyph to glyph, creating a hand-cut or stamped feeling, while rounded letters keep a slightly squarish, blocky silhouette. Numerals and capitals share the same rugged texture, maintaining strong visual consistency across the set.
Ideal for posters, headlines, short slogans, and branding moments where a rough, tactile voice is desired. It suits packaging, labels, merch, and social graphics that benefit from a bold, printed-on-paper aesthetic. Use at medium-to-large sizes for clarity, especially on busy backgrounds.
The font conveys a bold, gritty energy with an approachable, crafty character. Its worn texture and uneven edges suggest analog production—inked type, screen print, or rubber-stamp impressions—while the condensed heft keeps it loud and attention-seeking.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while adding character through distressed, print-worn detailing. The goal appears to be a confident display style that feels handmade and imperfect, evoking vintage and DIY production methods.
In longer text, the dense texture and tight apertures create a dark typographic color, so it reads best when given enough size and breathing room. The distressing is prominent and uniform enough to feel intentional rather than accidental, with speckling and notches distributed across stems and bowls.
