A chunky, heavy display face with irregular, eroded contours and soft, blobby terminals that feel stamped or ink-smeared. Strokes are generally uniform in weight but wobble in outline, with occasional nicks, notches, and uneven counters that create a worn texture. The forms are compact and sturdy with a high x-height impression, rounded corners in many joins, and slightly inconsistent widths across letters, reinforcing a handmade rhythm. Numerals and capitals match the same roughened silhouette, keeping texture and weight consistent across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, album/playlist artwork, packaging callouts, and sticker or merch graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where you want a deliberately rough, handmade texture; for longer passages, generous sizing and spacing will help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gritty but approachable—more mischievous than menacing—combining a distressed surface with a comic, DIY energy. It reads like something pulled from a screen-printed poster, a zine headline, or a rubber-stamp alphabet, giving layouts a loud, informal personality.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch with a deliberately worn, inked texture—capturing the feel of imperfect printing and hand-cut shapes while remaining legible in display use. The goal appears to be a bold, characterful headline voice that instantly signals DIY, street, or retro-printed aesthetics.
Texture is baked into the letterforms rather than added as an overlay, so the edges and interior shapes carry the distressed character at any size. The roughness is fairly even across glyphs, but individual letters show small variations in chipping and contour, which helps avoid a mechanically repeated look.
