A heavy, display-oriented roman with compact, chunky forms and noticeably irregular contours. Strokes show rough, worn edges and occasional nicks and voids, creating a printed-ink texture rather than clean vector outlines. Terminals are mostly blunt with slightly softened corners, and counters tend to be tight, giving the letters a dense, punchy silhouette. Overall rhythm is lively and uneven, with small variations in stroke weight and interior texture across glyphs and figures.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and branding moments where texture and attitude are desirable. It can work well on packaging, event promos, menus, or album/merch graphics, especially when paired with simpler supporting type for body copy.
The texture and imperfect edges give a gritty, tactile tone that feels hand-printed and a bit mischievous. It reads as casual and energetic, with a nostalgic, poster-like attitude and a touch of DIY roughness.
Designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing voice with a deliberately imperfect, weathered surface—evoking analog printing and rough reproduction for a more human, characterful feel.
In text settings the distressed texture remains prominent, so the font’s character comes through strongly even at moderate sizes. The numerals match the same worn, inky treatment, helping keep headlines and short callouts visually consistent.
