A bold, wide, all-caps-forward Latin design with simple, sturdy skeletons and crisp, mostly straight terminals. The defining feature is a dense, irregular interior pattern that reads like speckling or torn-paper voids inside the strokes, giving every glyph a mottled, worn fill while keeping the outer contours largely intact. Curves are round and compact (notably in C, G, O, Q), and joins stay clean and geometric rather than calligraphic. Lowercase follows the same straightforward construction with a single-storey a and g, and the figures are similarly robust, with clear counters and consistent texture coverage.
Well-suited to display typography where the distressed fill can be appreciated—posters, headlines, merchandise graphics, packaging accents, and music or event branding. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels, but longer passages benefit from generous size and leading to keep the texture from overwhelming the text color.
The overall tone feels gritty and handmade, like ink laid down through a distressed stencil or a rough print process. The busy texture adds energy and attitude, pushing the face toward edgy, informal, and slightly rebellious expressions while remaining legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, approachable letterform silhouette while layering in a pronounced distressed texture for instant character. It prioritizes impact and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming for a printed, weathered look that still holds together in bold, readable shapes.
Texture density varies slightly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm across words; in smaller sizes the speckling can visually darken counters and reduce clarity, while at larger sizes it becomes a distinct decorative surface. Spacing appears moderately open, helping the heavy interior noise avoid clogging in longer lines.
