A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans with chunky strokes and visibly rough, uneven contours. Curves are broad and rounded, while terminals look blunt and slightly torn, giving each glyph an organic, stamped or cut-out edge. Proportions are generally compact with wide counters and simplified shapes, and spacing feels sturdy rather than delicate. The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive, intentionally imperfect rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, merchandise graphics, packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark concepts where texture is desirable. It also works well for themed signage and display typography that benefits from a distressed, handmade look rather than smooth precision.
The overall tone is loud, casual, and tactile—more handmade than mechanical. Its rough silhouette reads as energetic and a bit rebellious, suggesting DIY print, street posters, or distressed signage rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver strong readability at display sizes while adding personality through deliberate edge distress and subtle irregularity. It prioritizes visual punch and tactile character, evoking inked, stamped, or hand-cut lettering.
The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s simplified construction, maintaining a strong blocky color in paragraphs. Numerals are similarly stout and attention-grabbing, matching the font’s rugged texture and poster-like presence.
