A heavy, compact sans with visibly roughened edges and an ink-stamped texture throughout. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with squared-off terminals and slightly irregular contours that soften the geometry and introduce a hand-made feel. Counters are relatively small and forms stay tight, giving the alphabet a dense, poster-like rhythm. Round characters (O, C, G, 0) read as slightly squarish ovals, and joins and curves show intentional wobble that keeps the texture consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where the distressed texture can read clearly. It can also work for branding in contexts that want a stamped or handcrafted look, especially when used with generous tracking and simple layouts.
The overall tone is gritty and informal, like a bold screen print, stamp, or painted sign. It feels energetic and approachable rather than refined, leaning toward DIY, vintage, and slightly rebellious visual cues.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture—capturing the feel of ink on paper or a worn stamp while keeping the underlying letterforms simple and sans-driven for straightforward readability at display scale.
The texture is strong enough to become a defining feature at display sizes, while the tight counters and rugged edges can reduce clarity as sizes get smaller or when set in long passages. Numerals match the same blunt, worn-in construction, keeping a cohesive voice across mixed text.
