A heavy, hand-rendered display face with compact proportions and uneven, weathered contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with visibly rough edges, occasional nicks, and small interior voids that suggest ink spread or worn printing. Curves are slightly flattened and corners are softly rounded, giving the letters a chunky, stamped feel. Spacing and widths vary per glyph, contributing to an irregular rhythm while remaining legible at larger sizes.
Best suited for short-form display settings where texture can do the expressive work: posters, covers, labels, and branding accents. It works well on packaging and merchandise graphics that benefit from a handcrafted, vintage-printed impression, and can add character to headings or pull quotes when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is gritty and tactile, like lettering pulled from a screen print, rubber stamp, or brushy marker. Its irregular texture adds a casual, rebellious energy, balancing roughness with a friendly, informal warmth.
Likely designed to emulate imperfect, analog lettering—combining solid, bold shapes with intentional wear to produce a tactile, printed artifact look. The goal appears to be expressive impact and personality over neutrality, with consistent distressing that reads as deliberate texture rather than random noise.
Numerals and lowercase maintain the same distressed texture, with simplified forms and sturdy counters that keep them readable. The distressed detailing is consistent across the set, creating a cohesive “printed imperfectly” look that becomes more noticeable as size increases.
