A compact, heavy display face with blocky, hand-drawn letterforms and visibly rough, chipped edges. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, with subtle irregularities that suggest a brush or stamped-ink texture. Counters are tight and simple, terminals are blunt, and curves are slightly lumpy rather than geometric, creating an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share a sturdy, condensed stance, while spacing and widths vary just enough to preserve a handmade look.
Best suited to high-impact display use such as posters, headlines, labels, and promotional graphics where a rough, handcrafted personality is desired. It can also work well on packaging or merchandise that benefits from a stamped or screen-printed aesthetic.
The overall tone is bold and punchy, with a scrappy, DIY energy. Its worn texture reads as casual and approachable, leaning toward a vintage poster or screen-printed feel rather than polished typography.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-printed signage with a deliberately worn edge, prioritizing personality and texture over uniform precision. It aims to provide an attention-grabbing, informal voice that feels made by hand and slightly distressed.
The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, producing a distressed silhouette that stays legible at headline sizes. The narrow proportions and dense color can make long passages feel heavy, but it delivers strong impact in short bursts.
