A heavy, chunky sans with rounded, softly squared forms and noticeably irregular contours. The strokes show rough, wobbly edges and slight ink-blot variation, creating a worn, printed-by-hand look rather than clean geometry. Counters are generally open and simple, with compact, sturdy silhouettes and a steady baseline feel despite the organic edge texture.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are desirable: posters, headlines, merch graphics, label/packaging moments, and social graphics. It can also work for short bursts of text (captions, pull quotes) when size and spacing are sufficient to keep the distressed details from filling in.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a playful, crafty energy. Its rough texture adds a gritty, lived-in character that reads as handmade and slightly rebellious without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-rendered lettering or rough screen/letterpress output, prioritizing personality and impact over pristine precision. The consistent distress and compact shapes suggest a practical display face aimed at creating an instantly tactile, handmade impression.
The distressed edge treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the font feel cohesive in text. In longer lines it creates a strong dark texture, so it tends to work best when given breathing room through generous tracking or larger sizes.
