A compact, heavy display face with condensed proportions and sturdy, mostly straight-sided letterforms. Strokes are thick and simplified, with minimal interior detailing and rounded corners that keep the shapes friendly despite the weight. The defining feature is the rough, worn texture: edges look scuffed and irregular, with small notches and patchy “ink” breaks that simulate imperfect printing. Spacing feels tight and assertive, and the texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, preserving a strong silhouette at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, title cards, packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It works especially well for themed branding that benefits from a stamped or weathered feel; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help maintain clarity.
The font conveys a gritty, hands-on attitude—like ink pressed through a worn screen or letters stamped onto rough paper. It feels vintage-leaning and tactile, with a casual, slightly mischievous energy that reads more like signage or packaging than formal typography.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch while adding immediate character through a consistent worn-print texture. The condensed, simplified shapes prioritize strong readability in display settings, while the roughened finish supplies a crafted, analog tone without needing additional effects.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest impact and the texture is most noticeable in broad strokes and counters, while small details can fill in at reduced sizes due to the weight. Numerals match the same chunky, workmanlike rhythm and maintain the distressed surface for cohesive headline use.
