A rough, monoline display face with heavily textured edges and occasional interior nicks that mimic worn ink or degraded printing. Strokes stay generally consistent in thickness but wobble subtly, producing an uneven rhythm and slightly irregular spacing from glyph to glyph. Counters are small-to-moderate and sometimes partially broken by the texture, while curves and joins appear softened and blobby rather than crisp. The overall construction reads as simple, hand-drawn letterforms that have been distressed, with proportions that vary enough to feel informal while remaining legible.
Works best in headlines and short blocks of text where the distressed texture is intended to be noticed—posters, album covers, zines, event flyers, and rustic or edgy packaging. It can also suit title treatments, badges, and labels where a worn, analog look helps sell the concept.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade tone—like a photocopied flyer, stamped label, or worn sign. Its imperfections add character and a casual rebelliousness, making it feel nostalgic and slightly mischievous rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to provide straightforward, readable letterforms with a deliberately degraded surface, evoking ink bleed, stamping, or rough reproduction. The goal appears to be adding instant atmosphere and tactility without sacrificing basic clarity.
In the sample text, the accumulated texture becomes a defining feature, giving lines a dark, mottled color and a lively baseline. The distressing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, so the set feels cohesive, though fine details can visually fill in at smaller sizes.
