A heavy, chunky display face with compact proportions and rounded counters, set on an upright skeleton. Letterforms show intentionally irregular contours with chippy edges and occasional interior nicks, creating a worn, inked look. Strokes feel brushy and uneven in places, with softened corners and slight shape wobble that reads like distressed printing. The overall rhythm is bold and solid, with the texture providing most of the variation and energy across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event promos, packaging callouts, album/playlist artwork, and merchandise graphics. It can work for logotypes or badges when a textured, printed feel is desired, and it pairs well with simple sans or condensed companions for supporting text.
The texture and imperfect outlines give a gritty, DIY tone—more poster-and-sticker than polished editorial. It feels casual and expressive, with a friendly cartoon-like weight tempered by a rugged, weathered finish.
Designed to deliver maximum presence while adding instant character through surface wear and rough edges, evoking imperfect ink coverage and battered letterpress or stamp impressions. The goal appears to be a bold, attention-grabbing display voice with built-in texture for themed branding and expressive headlines.
The distressing is consistent enough to hold together in short phrases, but the small chips and rough counters become more visually active as size decreases. Numerals match the same stout, worn construction, keeping the set cohesive for headline use.
