A heavy, blocky display face with softly squared silhouettes and rounded corners. Strokes are compact and forceful, with simplified counters and minimal internal detail that keeps letterforms bold and readable at a glance. The outlines and interior edges carry a consistent roughened, ink-worn texture—like stamped or screen-printed lettering—creating broken specks and irregular bite marks without collapsing the overall structure. Spacing feels sturdy and slightly loose, and the figures match the letters with the same chunky, distressed construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, large headlines, badges, and packaging fronts where the texture can be appreciated. It also works well for merch graphics, product labels, and social graphics that want a bold, worn-in look without sacrificing legibility.
The texture and weight give it a gritty, hands-on attitude that feels casual and energetic rather than refined. It suggests utilitarian signage and printed ephemera, with a friendly roughness that reads as approachable, craft-forward, and a bit rebellious.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect print texture, evoking analog production methods and well-used surfaces. It balances sturdy geometry with controlled distress to create a distinctive display voice that remains easy to read at typical headline sizes.
The distress is integrated across the set rather than appearing as random damage, so the alphabet holds together well in longer lines of text. Lowercase forms are simple and robust, echoing the caps closely, which reinforces a uniform, poster-like rhythm.
