A chunky, heavy display face with compact counters and broadly rounded forms, softened by slightly squarish geometry in places. Strokes show a deliberately uneven, ink-worn texture: edges appear rough, with small chips, blotches, and interior speckling that reads like distressed printing. The capitals are sturdy and blocky with simplified joins, while the lowercase keeps a similarly robust rhythm and a single-storey feel on round letters like a/e. Numerals match the mass and texture, maintaining consistent weight and the same worn surface across the set.
This font suits bold headlines, posters, and short phrases where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It can add character to branding elements like logos, packaging, labels, and sticker-style graphics—especially when a rough-printed, tactile look is desired.
The overall tone is loud, friendly, and gritty at once—like stamped headlines or screen-printed lettering that’s seen some use. It conveys an informal, handmade energy with a retro, poster-like presence, balancing approachability (rounded shapes) with roughness (distressed texture).
The design appears intended to mimic worn, imperfect print—combining sturdy, rounded display shapes with deliberate edge damage and inky artifacts. The goal is to deliver immediate impact while supplying a crafted, vintage-leaning texture for themed applications.
Because the distressing breaks up outlines and fills, small sizes may lose clarity, while larger settings emphasize the tactile, printed character. The texture is consistent enough to feel intentional rather than random, giving repeated letters a cohesive, gritty rhythm.
