A heavy, hand-printed display face with chunky, mostly monoline strokes and visibly roughened contours. The letterforms read as simplified sans shapes with soft corners and occasional slab-like terminals, while edges show uneven inking, nicks, and slight waviness that create a worn print texture. Counters are compact and sometimes irregular, spacing feels open and lively, and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing an organic, stamped look. Numerals and punctuation follow the same distressed, inked-in silhouette for consistent texture in text.
Best suited for display typography where texture is desirable: posters, headings, apparel graphics, labels, and packaging that want a printed, weathered feel. It can also work for short pulls or emphatic callouts in editorial layouts, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for contrast.
The overall tone is gritty and tactile, like lettering pulled from old posters, rubber stamps, or rough screen prints. Its imperfect edges and dense color give it a bold, streetwise energy while still feeling approachable and a bit quirky.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect, analog printing—delivering strong legibility with a deliberately distressed edge treatment to evoke handmade production and aged materials.
At larger sizes the distressed perimeter becomes a defining feature, adding texture and motion; at smaller sizes the roughness can visually thicken joins and reduce counter clarity. The uppercase has a strong poster presence, while the lowercase stays compact and sturdy, maintaining the same rugged rhythm in mixed-case settings.
