A heavy, all-caps-forward sans with softened geometry and visibly irregular outlines. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, but the edges show a dry-brush/inked texture with small nicks, waviness, and occasional flattened terminals. Counters are compact and rounded, and curves (O, C, G) read as squarish-round with slightly uneven tension. Lowercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, with short extenders and simple, workmanlike construction; numerals are similarly blocky and high-impact.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications where texture is an asset—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and merchandise. It can also work for punchy subheads or callouts, but will be more effective when given enough size and spacing to preserve counters and the distressed edge detail.
The overall tone is bold and gritty, with a handmade, printed-on-rough-paper character. It feels informal and energetic, leaning toward vintage poster and DIY sign aesthetics rather than polished corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect, inked texture—evoking hand-printed type or worn display lettering while keeping letterforms simple and highly recognizable.
Texture is consistent across the set, suggesting intentional distress rather than random noise; at small sizes the rough perimeter can visually thicken joins and close counters. The wide, flat tops and bottoms on many letters create a strong horizontal rhythm, while the uneven edges keep the texture lively.
