A monoline, upright roman with a deliberately worn texture applied throughout the strokes. Letterforms keep simple, familiar skeletons, but their contours are irregular and slightly swollen in places, producing a rough, inked silhouette and occasional nicks along curves and terminals. Counters remain generally open and readable, while the overall rhythm feels uneven in a controlled way, like imperfect impression or degraded reproduction. Numerals and capitals follow the same distressed treatment, maintaining consistent color and texture across the set.
This style performs best in display contexts where texture is desirable—posters, editorial headlines, album/film graphics, packaging, and zine-like layouts. It can work for short blocks of text when a rugged, lo-fi feel is wanted, but the distressed edges are most effective when given enough size and spacing to breathe.
The overall tone is gritty and tactile, evoking aged print, photocopied ephemera, and utilitarian labeling. It reads as rugged and handmade rather than polished, with an intentionally imperfect presence that adds attitude and noise to the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, readable roman foundation while adding an intentionally degraded surface, simulating worn ink, rough printing, or distressed stamping. The goal is to provide instant texture and atmosphere without requiring additional graphic effects.
The distressing is pervasive and consistent, so the font’s texture becomes part of its color at text sizes. Because the roughness eats into outlines and terminals, the face tends to look bolder and darker in dense settings than a clean monoline with the same underlying proportions.
