A heavy, compact display face built from chunky, mostly rounded letterforms with simplified geometry and short, blunt terminals. The outlines are intentionally uneven, with scuffed edges and speckled interior voids that mimic worn ink, rough printing, or eroded stencil paint. Counters are generally tight and softened, and the overall rhythm is slightly irregular, giving the set a tactile, hand-printed feel while remaining strongly legible at larger sizes.
Best suited for bold headlines and short bursts of copy where texture can be appreciated—posters, event graphics, album/cover art, streetwear-style merchandise, and packaging labels. It can also work for badges, signage, and social graphics when you want a gritty, printed character without sacrificing immediate readability.
The font projects a gritty, high-impact attitude with a casual, handmade edge. Its distressed texture adds a sense of age, noise, and physical materiality, balancing toughness with a slightly playful, poster-like friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, attention-grabbing headline voice with an intentionally worn, imperfect surface—evoking hand-printed signage and rough ink impressions. It prioritizes impact and texture over refinement, offering a ready-made “aged print” personality straight out of the box.
The distress pattern appears consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “printed on rough stock” look. Because the texture lives both on the perimeter and inside the shapes, the face reads best when given enough size and contrast so the wear details don’t fill in.
