A condensed, heavy display face with simplified, block-like letterforms and gently rounded corners. Strokes are mostly uniform with subtle contrast, while edges show consistent roughening and small interior nicks that read like worn ink or distressed print. Curves are slightly flattened and counters are compact, producing a sturdy, poster-like texture. The set maintains a clear baseline and upright stance, with minor glyph-to-glyph irregularities that enhance the handmade rhythm rather than breaking legibility.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and signage where the rough print character can read at size. It also fits branding accents and packaging that benefit from a handmade or vintage-leaning voice, and can work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a cleaner text companion.
The overall tone feels rustic and tactile, like lettering pulled from an old label, screen print, or stamped packaging. Its irregular inking adds warmth and personality, giving headlines a crafted, slightly gritty energy without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, condensed display voice with a deliberately worn, hand-printed finish. Its goal is to evoke tactile production—ink, stamp, or aged print—while keeping forms straightforward and readable for prominent typographic use.
The distressing appears integrated into the silhouettes rather than applied as random noise, creating a cohesive worn texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the same chunky construction and rough edge treatment, supporting consistent use in display settings.
