A compact, heavy sans with blunt terminals and visibly irregular outlines that mimic worn ink or rough printing. Strokes are mostly monolinear in feel, with occasional swelling and nicks that create a mottled silhouette and slightly uneven counters. The design keeps simple, blocky construction and clear letterforms, while allowing per-glyph variation in width and edge texture for an intentionally imperfect rhythm.
Best suited to short headlines and display settings such as posters, album covers, zines, event flyers, and product labels that benefit from a rough, analog finish. It can work in short bursts for branding or packaging where a handmade, distressed voice is desired, but the texture may reduce clarity in small UI text or long-form reading.
The font projects a gritty, analog tone—like hand-stamped signage, distressed screenprint, or photocopied punk ephemera. Its roughened edges and dense color give it an assertive, DIY character that feels informal and attention-seeking rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to simulate imperfect ink transfer and wear—capturing the look of stamped, screenprinted, or photocopied lettering while keeping straightforward, legible shapes. The goal appears to be high-impact display typography with built-in texture for instant atmosphere.
Texture shows up both on the exterior contour and inside bowls (notably in round letters and some numerals), producing a speckled, worn impression. Numerals share the same rugged treatment and read best at display sizes where the distressed detail can remain intentional rather than noisy.
