A heavy, inked display face with deliberately irregular contours and softly eroded edges. Strokes are broadly monolinear, with occasional swelling and pinched joins that create a stamped or worn-letterpress look. Counters are uneven and sometimes slightly clogged, while terminals appear rounded and blunted rather than sharp. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, giving lines a lively, imperfect rhythm; uppercase forms are compact and chunky, and lowercase shares the same rugged texture with a sturdy, readable x-height.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where texture can be appreciated: posters, album or gig graphics, bold headlines, labels, and themed packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when a rough, handmade presence is desired, but is less appropriate for long body text due to its intentionally uneven edges.
The overall tone is gritty and analog, evoking DIY printing, worn signage, and distressed packaging. Its rough texture adds attitude and immediacy, feeling raw, informal, and slightly rebellious while still staying legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to simulate a bold printed face that has been worn down by rough reproduction—ink spread, scuffed type, or distressed stamping—while preserving strong silhouettes and clear letter identities for impactful display typography.
The distressed effect is consistent across letters and numerals, with organic edge breakup that reads like ink spread or abrasion rather than geometric noise. Numerals are stout and rounded, matching the chunky, weathered character of the alphabet.
