A chunky display face with simplified, mostly sans-like letterforms and a deliberately rough, ink-worn surface. Strokes are heavy with irregular edges and occasional interior gaps that mimic distressed printing or dry-brush fill. Curves are broadly rounded, terminals are blunt, and counters tend to be open and slightly misshapen, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, hand-made texture across words and lines.
Best suited for headlines and short text on posters, packaging, merch, stickers, and cover art where texture is a feature. It can also work for signage-inspired layouts and branded graphics that need a bold, worn-in personality, especially when paired with a cleaner companion typeface for body copy.
The overall tone feels gritty and energetic, with a casual, mischievous friendliness rather than a polished, corporate voice. Its distressed texture reads like worn signage or stamped lettering, giving it a tactile, DIY attitude that adds character and immediacy.
The design intent appears to be delivering a strong, readable display alphabet while baking in a distressed, printed-by-hand texture. By combining simple forms with controlled roughness, it aims to add grit and authenticity without sacrificing immediate impact.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough-print DNA, with the lowercase remaining sturdy and highly legible at display sizes. Numerals are bold and attention-grabbing, carrying the same eroded interiors and uneven edges for consistent texture in headlines and short bursts of copy.
