A compact, heavy letterform style with visibly roughened contours and an inked, brush-like texture. Strokes show irregular edges, small dents, and occasional pinched joins that create a worn, printed feel rather than clean geometry. Forms are mostly upright with simplified construction, soft terminals, and slightly uneven stroke distribution that varies from glyph to glyph. Counters tend to be small and somewhat irregular, and overall spacing feels tight and energetic, with a hand-rendered rhythm across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the rough texture can be appreciated—posters, cover art, event graphics, packaging accents, and bold headline or logo treatments. It can also work for themed pull quotes or section headers where a handmade, distressed voice is desired.
The texture and wobble give it a gritty, handmade tone that reads as casual and expressive rather than refined. It suggests DIY printing, zines, or stamped/painted signage, balancing a slightly rugged attitude with approachable, playful friendliness.
Likely designed to capture the look of painted or printed lettering with intentional wear—delivering strong presence while avoiding a polished, digital finish. The goal appears to be an expressive display face that communicates grit and authenticity through texture and irregularity.
The distressed texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so the “wear” reads as a deliberate stylistic layer rather than random noise. At larger sizes the edge detail becomes a key feature; at smaller sizes the roughness can visually thicken joins and close up counters.
