A heavy, chunky display face with uneven, distressed contours that mimic rough inking or worn stamping. Strokes are generally upright with medium contrast and softly rounded corners, while edges appear nibbled and wavy for an intentionally imperfect silhouette. Counters are compact and slightly irregular, and overall proportions lean wide with a bouncy rhythm from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to display settings where its rough edge and chunky weight can be appreciated—posters, event flyers, bold headlines, packaging labels, and logo/wordmark concepts. It can also add texture to short pull quotes or title treatments when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The texture and irregularity give it a gritty, handmade attitude that reads as vintage and slightly ominous, yet still approachable. It evokes pulp headlines, worn posters, and DIY lettering where character and noise are part of the message.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing display voice with intentional wear and handmade irregularity, adding instant texture and personality to straightforward letterforms.
At larger sizes the distressed perimeter becomes a defining feature, creating a strong black mass and noticeable texture across lines. The digit set matches the same roughened treatment, supporting consistent display use across titles and numeric callouts.
