A chunky, heavy display face with compact, rounded forms and an uneven, inked texture throughout. Strokes are thick and simplified, with softened corners and noticeably rough, chipped edges that create a stamped or worn-print look. Counters are small and sometimes partially clogged, and the silhouettes vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, imperfect rhythm. Overall spacing reads fairly tight in text, with sturdy proportions and a bold, poster-like presence.
Works best for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, album/playlist art, and apparel or sticker designs. It can add a tactile, printed feel to packaging and branding accents, especially when paired with clean supporting type. For longer passages, it’s most effective at larger sizes where the distressed details remain legible.
The font conveys a gritty, hands-on energy—casual and slightly rebellious, like street posters, zines, or screen-printed merch. Its distressed texture adds warmth and attitude, keeping the tone approachable rather than formal. The overall feel is retro-leaning and craft-driven, suited to designs that want personality and impact.
The design appears intended to mimic bold, imperfect printmaking—like worn rubber stamps or rough screen prints—while keeping letterforms friendly and readable. The consistent distress pattern and chunky shapes suggest a deliberate balance of impact and handcrafted character for expressive display typography.
The texture is not just along the outer contour; it also appears as speckling and erosion within the filled shapes, which increases visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same rough, cut-out character, and letterforms remain highly simplified for immediate recognition despite the distressing.
