A heavy, compact display face with chunky, rounded-rectangle letterforms and uneven, roughened contours that read like inked or worn printing. Strokes are thick with small nicks and wobbles along edges, creating a mottled silhouette while maintaining clear interior counters. Proportions are tight and slightly irregular across glyphs, with simple, sturdy construction and occasional subtly flared terminals that keep the texture lively in headlines and short lines.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, event flyers, merchandise graphics, album art, and punchy packaging where texture is a feature. It can also work for short brand statements or section headers when a rugged, hand-printed feel is desired; extended body copy will be less comfortable due to the strong edge noise.
The texture and stout shapes give the font a gritty, handmade personality with a playful edge. It suggests DIY posters, zines, and rough-stamped packaging—energetic, imperfect, and intentionally loud rather than refined.
Likely designed to emulate worn ink on paper—somewhere between a hand-cut stencil, rough letterpress, and marker-filled block lettering—delivering an assertive display voice with built-in grit and movement.
The distressed detailing is prominent enough to be part of the letter shape, especially noticeable on straight stems and at corners, so it benefits from generous sizes and solid contrast against the background. Numerals match the same chunky, worn rhythm, supporting bold, attention-grabbing settings.
