A heavy, blocky display face with rugged, distressed contours and visibly irregular ink edges. Letterforms are built from broad strokes and chunky terminals, with high-contrast cuts and gouges that create a worn, stamped look rather than smooth outlines. Curves (O, C, G) are rounded but broken up by nicks and notches, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I) show uneven edges and slight waviness that keeps the rhythm intentionally imperfect. Spacing and widths feel uneven in a hand-set way, reinforcing the raw, analog texture across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography where texture is part of the message: posters, album or podcast artwork, streetwear-style branding, packaging accents, and punchy headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or section titles when you want a rough, printed-by-hand feel.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, like DIY gig posters, skate graphics, or a rough screenprint pulled quickly. It reads as mischievous and casual rather than formal, with a bold, attention-grabbing presence that leans into imperfection for character.
This design appears intended to mimic bold lettering produced through imperfect reproduction—such as worn rubber stamps, rough screenprinting, or heavily inked display type—prioritizing personality and texture over pristine geometry.
In the sample text, the distressed texture remains prominent at larger sizes and gives lines a lively, noisy color. The numerals and punctuation carry the same chipped, ink-worn treatment, helping the set feel consistent for headline-style compositions.
