A heavy, compact sans with uneven contours and a visibly distressed surface. Strokes feel inked and slightly wobbly, with ragged edges, small bite-outs, and peppered pinholes that mimic worn type or rough printing. Counters are generally open but irregular, and curves show flattened spots and dents that create a handmade rhythm. Spacing reads steady in text, while individual glyphs show subtle width and shape variation that reinforces the battered, analog look.
Best suited to display settings where texture is part of the message—posters, album/cover art, event promos, packaging, badges, and gritty brand marks. It can work for short subheads and pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and sufficient size to preserve the distressed detail.
The texture and imperfect outlines give an underground, tactile tone—like photocopied flyers, stamped labels, or aged signage. It comes across assertive and gritty rather than refined, with a deliberately lo-fi attitude.
Likely designed to capture the feel of worn letterpress or heavily inked stamping, combining a straightforward, readable skeleton with deliberate erosion and noise for instant character. The goal appears to be bold presence with an authentically imperfect, printed-on-paper texture.
In the sample text the distressed pattern stays consistent across letters and numerals, producing a uniform “weathered ink” effect. The short lowercase proportions and the dense color can build strong impact, while the interior speckling may reduce clarity at very small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds.
