A heavy, inked display face with irregular, distressed contours and subtly wobbly stems that feel brush- or stamp-made rather than mechanically drawn. Letterforms are mostly simplified and rounded, with uneven stroke edges, occasional nicks, and small interior bite-outs that create a worn print texture. Counters tend to be compact and slightly asymmetrical, and terminals look torn or blunted instead of cleanly cut. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, producing a lively, hand-rendered rhythm in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing typography such as posters, album/film titles, event flyers, packaging callouts, and merchandise graphics. It also works well for branding in craft, street-food, skate, or indie contexts where a tactile, imperfect print vibe is desired. Use larger sizes and moderate tracking to keep counters clear and the texture legible.
The overall tone is gritty and tactile, like lettering pulled from a weathered poster, screen-printed merch, or a distressed rubber stamp. Despite the roughness, the forms read as friendly and approachable, giving it a mischievous, indie, DIY character rather than an aggressive industrial feel.
Likely designed to emulate bold hand-painted or stamped lettering with controlled wear, delivering a convincingly analog texture while remaining readable for display settings. The aim appears to be a balance of playful shapes and gritty edge breakup, giving designers an easy way to add authenticity and rough energy to headlines.
The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, with deliberate edge breakup that stays visible at headline sizes. The lowercase includes simple, single-storey shapes and compact punctuation, reinforcing a casual, hand-made voice. The distressed detail can begin to fill in visually when set very small or in dense paragraphs.
