A rough, monoline display face built from angular, squarish forms with subtly wobbly stems and irregular edges. Strokes keep a fairly even thickness, but the outlines look scuffed and slightly ink-bled, creating a dry-printed texture. Counters are generally open and geometric, with occasional quirky joins and kinks that make the rhythm feel handmade rather than constructed. Proportions lean compact with straight-sided curves and boxy rounds, while spacing and widths vary modestly from glyph to glyph for an organic, uneven color on the line.
Well-suited to short, high-impact applications such as posters, album or event graphics, product packaging, and bold headlines where texture is desirable. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a handcrafted, rugged feel, especially when paired with cleaner body text.
The overall tone is gritty and utilitarian, like stamped labeling or worn signage. Its roughness reads rebellious and DIY, with a retro-zine energy that feels imperfect by intention. The angular geometry keeps it assertive, while the distressed texture adds a raw, lived-in character.
The design appears intended to merge simple geometric letter construction with a distressed, printed-wear finish, delivering a legible but intentionally imperfect voice. It prioritizes attitude and surface texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for a stamped or rough-ink aesthetic in display settings.
The font’s texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, suggesting a deliberate distressed treatment rather than random noise. The sample text shows clear word shapes at larger sizes, but the irregular edges and tight, boxy counters will visually accumulate in longer passages, emphasizing its display nature.
