A condensed, hand-drawn sans with uneven, textured contours that suggest dry-brush or worn ink. Strokes are mostly monolinear with slight swelling and tapering, and terminals often end bluntly or raggedly rather than cleanly cut. Counters are compact and slightly irregular, with casual construction in rounds and diagonals that creates a lively, imperfect rhythm. Overall spacing and letterfit feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing the handmade, distressed character.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are an asset: posters, gig flyers, album artwork, craft packaging, and bold editorial callouts. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes, but the rough contours and tight, condensed shapes are strongest at larger sizes where the distressed detail is clearly visible.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY energy—more zine and workshop than polished editorial. Its irregular edges and inky texture add a tactile, analog feel that reads as rebellious, playful, and a bit rugged.
Designed to deliver an analog, weathered look—like hand-painted lettering or rough-printed type—while staying straightforward enough to set punchy, legible headlines. The goal appears to be character and grit over typographic perfection, with consistent texture providing theme unity across the alphabet and figures.
Uppercase forms stay relatively simple and upright, while lowercase introduces more personality through uneven bowls and occasional quirky joins, keeping long text visually animated. The distressed edge treatment remains consistent across letters and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive even with varied glyph widths.
