A heavy, inked display face with irregular, distressed contours and subtly wobbly strokes that suggest rough printing or hand-painted lettering. Forms are mostly sans in construction, with simplified geometry and rounded corners that get broken up by nicks, lumps, and small voids along edges. Stroke endings tend to be blunt and swollen, counters are inconsistent, and spacing feels slightly uneven, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm across lines of text.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, and display settings where a worn, tactile texture adds personality. It can work effectively on packaging, album art, and event flyers, especially when paired with cleaner body text to maintain readability and hierarchy.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, balancing a rugged, worn texture with an approachable, casual energy. Its roughness reads as intentional and expressive rather than purely degraded, giving it a streetwise, DIY character that can also feel playful at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a deliberately imperfect, weathered surface—capturing the look of ink bleed, rough stamping, or hand-rendered signage. It prioritizes characterful texture and impact over typographic neutrality, making the distressed details a primary stylistic feature.
Legibility holds up best when set generously, as the texture and irregular outlines can visually close up smaller counters and tighten joins. The font’s strong silhouette and consistent distress pattern make it effective for punchy words and short phrases where texture is part of the message.
