A rough, inked sans with irregular contours and visibly distressed edges that suggest worn printing or a dry-marker stroke. Strokes are low-contrast and mostly monoline, but their boundaries wobble and fray, creating a peppered silhouette rather than crisp outlines. Proportions are generally narrow with straightforward, upright construction; spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an analog, imperfect rhythm. Counters stay open and simple, with rounded forms (O, Q, 0) reading as hand-shaped ovals and straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I) showing subtle waviness and softened terminals.
Works well for display uses where texture is part of the message—posters, album or playlist artwork, event promotion, and packaging that benefits from a handmade or worn print feel. It can also add character to short pull quotes or labels, especially at larger sizes where the distressed edges can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels gritty and handmade, with a zine-like, photocopied character that reads as intentionally imperfect. It conveys a casual, slightly rebellious energy—more craft and texture than polish—while remaining legible in short phrases and headlines.
Likely designed to mimic imperfect, ink-on-paper lettering and distressed reproduction, delivering an approachable sans structure with added grit and tactile noise. The goal appears to be easy readability paired with a strong, textured personality for thematic and expressive typography.
Texture is consistent across the set, with small bumps, nicks, and edge breakup appearing on both verticals and curves. Numerals match the same distressed treatment, with simple, familiar forms that keep the set cohesive.
