A compact, display-oriented sans with simple geometric skeletons and pronounced contrast between thick stems and finer curves. Counters are generally open and round, while terminals often finish with slightly flared, wedge-like shapes. The outlines show consistent roughening and uneven edges, suggesting worn printing or ink drag; this texture is especially visible on vertical strokes and around curves. Overall spacing feels steady and readable at larger sizes, with a slightly irregular rhythm created by the distressed contour treatment.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and other display settings where the roughened texture can be appreciated. It works well for branding that wants a retro or handmade feel—such as music artwork, event flyers, café menus, or product labels—especially at medium to large sizes where the distressed detail remains clear.
The texture and punchy forms give the font a vintage, handmade character with a lightly mischievous edge. It reads as informal and attention-seeking, evoking posters, stamped lettering, or aged signage rather than polished corporate typography. The tone is energetic and approachable, with enough grit to feel tactile and lived-in.
The design appears intended to combine straightforward, compact letterforms with a deliberately weathered surface, delivering a bold display voice that feels printed, stamped, or timeworn. The consistent distressing across letters and numerals suggests an emphasis on mood and texture while preserving clear silhouettes for legibility in short text.
Round letters like O and Q keep a clean, simple interior while the outer edge carries most of the wear, which helps maintain legibility. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction and distressed finish, matching the alphabet well for short, prominent lines of text.
