A heavy, textured sans with irregular, hand-cut edges and visibly uneven stroke boundaries. The letterforms are built from simple geometric masses, but their contours wobble and chip, creating a distressed silhouette rather than clean curves or straight lines. Counters are generally open and rounded, while terminals look blunt and torn, giving the shapes a stamped or brushed impression. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, contributing to a lively, slightly chaotic rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for display applications where texture and personality are an asset—posters, headlines, apparel graphics, album/playlist artwork, and punchy packaging. It can also work for short blurbs or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the distressed detail.
The font reads as gritty and handmade, with a DIY energy that feels informal and expressive. Its roughened outlines suggest printed ephemera, zines, or screen-printed graphics, projecting attitude and immediacy rather than refinement.
The design intention appears to be a robust, legible sans that carries a deliberately distressed, hand-made finish. It prioritizes bold presence and tactile texture, aiming to evoke ink-on-paper roughness and an unpolished, analog feel.
In longer text, the dense weight and noisy edges create a strong texture on the page, which can feel energetic but visually busy at smaller sizes. The most successful impact comes from the consistent rough treatment across curves and stems, which makes the distressing feel intentional rather than incidental.
