A heavy, compact sans with rounded corners and blunt terminals, drawn with a slightly uneven, hand-made rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with broad counters and simplified interior shapes that keep forms open at display sizes. A consistent worn texture appears as small pits and flecks inside the black areas, suggesting ink loss or rough printing. Proportions are condensed overall, with small variations in character widths and a straightforward, upright construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, bold headlines, event graphics, and branding where texture is desired. It works especially well on packaging, labels, and merchandise that aim for a crafted or industrial look. Because the distressed detail is integral to the design, it is most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the texture can be seen clearly.
The font projects a tough, workmanlike tone with a retro, screen-printed feel. Its distressed texture adds grit and authenticity, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive. Overall it reads as bold, energetic, and intentionally imperfect.
Designed to evoke the look of worn ink and hand-stamped or screen-printed lettering while maintaining simple, sturdy letterforms. The goal appears to be high visual impact with a deliberately imperfect surface, combining condensed geometry with a consistent distressed finish for a strong thematic voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive, simplified style; the lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded treatment and remain highly prominent. Texture is uniform across glyphs, so the distressed effect reads as a deliberate design feature rather than random noise.
