A heavy, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with thick strokes and visibly rough, distressed contours. Letterforms read as brushy or dry-ink printed, with uneven edges, occasional interior scuffs, and small voids that create a mottled texture. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with rounded counters and simplified terminals; curves and straights both carry slight wobble that keeps the rhythm energetic rather than geometric. Spacing feels moderately tight in text, with the texture becoming more pronounced as words and lines stack.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and branding that wants an analog, worn-in voice. It can work for short passages or punchy statements where the distressed texture adds character, especially in larger sizes and high-contrast layouts.
The font conveys a gritty, handcrafted attitude—casual, noisy, and attention-grabbing. Its distressed texture suggests wear, analog printing, or painted signage, giving it an expressive, rebellious tone while still remaining friendly and approachable.
Likely designed to emulate bold hand-rendered lettering with a deliberately weathered print texture, combining strong silhouettes for instant readability with irregular edges and scuffed interiors to add grit and personality.
Uppercase forms are bold and blocky with softened corners, while lowercase keeps the same rugged texture and simplified construction for consistent color on the line. Numerals match the same ink-worn treatment, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive. Because the distressing is built into the strokes, the face reads best when allowed enough size and contrast for the texture to remain legible.
