A compact, heavy display face with irregular, ink-worn outlines and softly blunted corners. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel, but edges wobble and thicken unpredictably, creating a stamped-or-brushy texture across the alphabet. Counters are small and sometimes slightly misshapen, and terminals often look smudged or pressed, giving the letters a tactile, printed-by-hand quality. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, adding to the informal rhythm.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where texture is part of the message: posters, flyers, album covers, product packaging, and branding moments that want a handcrafted or worn-in feel. It can work for pull quotes or subheads, but the distressed edges and dense strokes make it less ideal for small UI text or long-form reading.
The overall tone is gritty and handcrafted, with a casual confidence that feels more like a rough print or marker lettering than a polished digital sans. It suggests analog imperfections—ink spread, worn type, or screenprint artifacts—while staying friendly and readable at display sizes.
Likely designed to deliver an immediately tactile, analog look—evoking worn signage, inked stamps, or rough printing—while remaining straightforward enough to set punchy titles and attention-grabbing phrases.
The set keeps a consistent texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals, so mixed-case text maintains the same distressed voice. The irregularities are controlled rather than chaotic, which helps longer lines of copy retain a steady gray value despite the rough perimeter.
