A chunky, hand-rendered sans with heavily irregular outlines and a dry-brush/inked texture. Strokes are thick and slightly uneven, with frequent nicks, scallops, and soft blobbing that suggest worn printing or rough mark-making. Counters are generally tight and somewhat inconsistent, while terminals end bluntly rather than crisply squared. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with simple, mostly monoline letter construction that favors legibility over refinement.
Best used at display sizes where the rough contour and inky texture can be appreciated. It fits posters, flyers, titles, packaging labels, and bold callouts that benefit from a gritty handmade feel, and it can add personality to short taglines or section headers when paired with a cleaner text face.
The texture and uneven edges give the face a gritty, DIY attitude that feels energetic and a bit mischievous. It reads like stamped or brush-painted lettering—casual, imperfect, and attention-grabbing—suited to designs that want character more than polish.
The design appears intended to simulate rough, real-world lettering—like a quick brush sign or a distressed stamp—while remaining readable in short bursts. Its goal is to add tactile texture and attitude to contemporary display typography without relying on delicate details.
Spacing appears fairly tight in text, which amplifies the dense, poster-like color on the page. The distressed treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping it hold together as a unified display voice. Numerals match the same chunky, worn texture, keeping headlines cohesive when mixing type and numbers.
