A heavy, compact sans with an inked, distressed surface and visibly irregular outlines. Strokes are blunt-ended and largely monolinear, with softened corners and slight wobble that suggests rough printing or hand-cut forms. Counters are small to moderate and sometimes uneven, and the overall rhythm is bouncy, with small variations in width and curvature between letters that keep the texture lively in text.
Best suited to display sizes where the rough texture and chunky forms can read clearly—posters, packaging, label designs, album/cover art, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for short bursts of copy (pull quotes, captions) when an intentionally raw, analog feel is desired, but it will be most effective in bold, high-impact settings.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade tone with a friendly, informal attitude. Its rough edges and slightly uneven silhouettes evoke analog reproduction—like rubber stamping, screen print, or worn signage—adding character and immediacy rather than polish.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-getting voice with an intentionally imperfect, printed-from-the-real-world texture. The consistent distressing and compact shapes suggest a display face meant to add instant character and a tactile, vintage-leaning presence to simple layouts.
In the sample text the distressed texture remains consistent and creates a strong, dark color on the page, with noticeable speckling and edge breakup. The numerals follow the same chunky, softened construction, helping maintain a unified, tactile look across headings and short blocks.
