A heavy, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with irregular, eroded outlines and uneven ink spread that creates a worn, printed texture. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline in feel, but their edges crumble and bulge in a way that produces lively, inconsistent silhouettes. Counters are partially roughened and sometimes tightened by the distressed texture, and the overall rhythm reads as intentionally imperfect rather than geometric. Numerals and letters share the same rugged treatment, maintaining a cohesive, battered look across the set.
Best suited for short, prominent copy such as posters, headlines, album covers, and event promotions where texture and attitude are desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, and branding accents that aim for a vintage or rough-printed aesthetic, especially when paired with simpler supporting type.
The font conveys a gritty, lived-in attitude—suggesting aged print, rough stamping, or weathered signage. Its rough edges and blotchy color give it an assertive, tactile character that can feel rebellious, rustic, or DIY depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic degraded ink and worn letterforms, prioritizing texture and personality over precision. It aims to deliver an instant distressed, analog-print impression in display settings without requiring additional effects.
At text sizes the distressed texture becomes a dominant feature, creating a dark, textured line that favors impact over crisp readability. The variable-looking widths and irregular contours add energy and a handmade feel, but also mean spacing and texture will read more like print artifacts than smooth typographic color.
