A compact, hand-drawn sans with irregular, jagged contours that mimic dry ink or worn printing. Strokes keep a generally consistent thickness, but edges are roughened and slightly wavy, creating a lively, imperfect outline. Forms are simple and open with rounded corners and a loose baseline rhythm; widths vary noticeably from letter to letter, reinforcing an unrefined, handmade feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same rugged construction, producing a cohesive distressed texture in both display and text settings.
Works best where texture and attitude are part of the message: posters, event flyers, album/mixtape graphics, zine-style layouts, and branded packaging that wants a worn or stamped look. It can also serve for short headlines, labels, and pull quotes where the gritty edge helps set a casual, handcrafted mood.
The font gives off a gritty, DIY tone—like photocopied zines, stamped packaging, or marker lettering that’s been weathered. Its uneven edges and soft wobble read as informal and approachable, with a slightly rebellious, street-level energy.
Likely designed to deliver a reliable, legible sans structure while adding deliberate wear and irregularity to suggest analog reproduction and hand-made production. The goal appears to be an easy-to-use distressed texture that keeps forms straightforward while providing character through rough contours and uneven rhythm.
In continuous text the rough perimeter creates an active “noise” along word shapes, which can be a feature for atmosphere but may reduce clarity at small sizes. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, so mixing cases maintains the same distressed color on the page.
