A rough, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with simplified, sans-like letter construction and noticeably distressed outlines. Strokes are generally sturdy but break up with chipped edges, speckled counters, and uneven ink coverage that creates a worn-print texture across the set. Curves are slightly lumpy and organic, while straight strokes wobble subtly, giving the rhythm a handmade, imperfect cadence. Spacing and widths feel mixed from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, analog feel in both text and numerals.
Best suited to display applications where texture is desirable: posters, flyers, album/cover art, bold pull quotes, and packaging or labels that want a worn, analog stamp effect. It can work for short paragraphs in large sizes, but the distressed detail is most effective in headlines and short bursts of copy.
The texture reads like weathered signage or imperfect screen/letterpress output—bold, gritty, and informal. It conveys a DIY, underground tone that can feel rebellious or nostalgic, depending on color and layout, with a distinctly tactile “printed on rough stock” character.
The design appears intended to mimic aged, imperfect printing—combining straightforward letter shapes with deliberate erosion and ink breakup to deliver instant character. The goal is strong legibility paired with a consistent distressed patina that reads as handmade and authentic.
Distressing appears both on the outer contour and inside bowls, with small voids and nicks that become more prominent as sizes increase. The forms remain legible in short lines, but the broken edges and interior speckling will dominate at larger display settings, where the texture becomes the main visual feature.
