A chunky, hand-rendered sans with heavily roughened contours and slightly blobby stroke endings that mimic worn ink or dry-brush printing. Letterforms are built from simple, rounded structures with irregular edge texture and small interior nicks, creating a consistent distressed silhouette across the set. Proportions are generally compact with a steady cap height and a readable, straightforward construction, while subtle width and stroke irregularities keep the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. Counters remain open and legible, and the numerals share the same soft, eroded edges and ink-spread feel.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are part of the message—posters, headlines, merch graphics, labels, and themed packaging. It can work for short paragraphs in large sizes, but the rugged edge detail is most effective when given enough scale and contrast.
The overall tone is gritty and homemade, like stamped packaging or a photocopied punk flyer. It feels informal and energetic, projecting a tactile, analog attitude that reads as intentionally rough rather than accidental.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, tactile voice that evokes imperfect printing and handmade lettering. The goal is high-impact readability paired with a deliberate distressed surface for thematic and atmospheric typography.
Texture is a defining feature: edges look chipped and mottled, and curves show uneven pressure that suggests printing wear. The distressed treatment is fairly uniform from glyph to glyph, which helps longer lines of text hold together without looking randomly damaged.
