A heavy, inked display face with irregular, eroded contours and subtly pitted interiors that mimic rough printing or worn stencil/wood type. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline in feel, with softened corners and uneven terminals that create a blobby silhouette. Counters are generally open but slightly distorted, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a loose, hand-pressed rhythm. The texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with sturdy verticals and compact joins that keep forms readable despite the distressing.
Well-suited to display settings such as posters, event flyers, album artwork, and bold editorial headers where texture is part of the message. It also fits packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a tactile, printed character and an intentionally imperfect finish.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, with a casual, slightly mischievous energy. It evokes DIY posters, ink stamps, and weathered lettering—more punk-zine and craft-print than polished signage.
Likely designed to deliver a robust display voice that feels physically printed—suggesting ink spread, wear, and material texture—while maintaining clear, familiar letter structures for quick recognition.
In longer text the distressed edges create a lively sparkle, but the roughness can visually thicken smaller sizes; it reads best when given room and strong contrast. The numerals and lowercase share the same worn treatment, supporting cohesive headlines and short callouts.
