A heavy, printlike face with irregular, distressed contours and subtly wavering stroke edges that suggest rough inking or degraded reproduction. Letterforms are mostly upright with compact, blocky silhouettes, softened corners, and occasional nicks, chips, and interior bite marks that create a consistent worn texture across the alphabet. Widths vary by glyph, and spacing reads slightly loose and natural rather than mechanically uniform, reinforcing an analog, handmade rhythm.
Works best in display roles where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, album covers, apparel graphics, packaging labels, and punchy headlines. It can also add grit to short pull quotes or section headers, especially when paired with a cleaner companion for body copy.
The overall tone feels gritty and tactile, like ink dragged across porous paper or type pulled from a weathered stencil or stamp. It conveys an unpolished, rugged mood that can read vintage, DIY, or underground depending on color and context.
The design appears intended to emulate rugged, imperfect printing—combining sturdy, legible structures with deliberate erosion and ink-bleed artifacts to deliver a convincingly aged, tactile look.
Uppercase shapes stay relatively sturdy and poster-ready, while lowercase and numerals show more visible wobble and edge breakup, adding character at larger sizes. In longer text, the distressed details create a lively texture, but the irregular edges can visually thicken and darken on small sizes or low-resolution outputs.
