A heavy, block-leaning sans with broad proportions and compact counters, rendered with intentionally rough, chipped edges and slightly uneven contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, with squared terminals and simplified joins that keep silhouettes bold and readable. The distressing appears as consistent nicks, speckling, and worn corners, giving each glyph a printed, weathered texture while maintaining stable baseline and overall alignment.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where the distressed texture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for event graphics, stickers, and merchandise designs that want a bold, worn-in look without losing legibility.
The font conveys a rugged, vintage energy—like ink pressed hard onto paper and then aged by handling. Its blunt shapes and worn texture suggest utilitarian confidence with a touch of playful grit, making it feel loud, friendly, and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact through sturdy, simplified letterforms, then adding character via a consistent distressed treatment. The goal is to evoke a tactile, printed-and-weathered feel while keeping shapes clear enough for bold display typography.
Uppercase forms read especially solid and poster-like, while lowercase maintains the same chunky construction and distressed pattern for consistent color in text blocks. The numerals match the set’s stout proportions and worn finish, supporting display use where texture is part of the message.
