A heavy, rounded sans with irregular, distressed contours that mimic worn ink or rough-cut stenciling. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, but the edges are jagged and broken, with small bite marks and blots that create a textured silhouette. Counters are generally open and round, and the overall construction favors simple, sturdy shapes with slightly uneven widths and spacing for an organic rhythm. Numerals and capitals read clearly, with the distressing applied consistently across the set.
Well-suited to display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, album or gig promotion, packaging with a vintage or rugged theme, and apparel or sticker graphics. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a tactile, distressed voice, but is less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY attitude with a playful, poster-like energy. Its worn texture suggests vintage print, handmade signage, or battered packaging, giving text a tactile, imperfect character that feels lively rather than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, rounded sans foundation with a consistent distressed treatment, evoking worn printing and hand-inked imperfections. The goal is strong readability at display sizes while adding instant character through roughened edges and uneven texture.
The distressed detailing is prominent at text sizes and can reduce clarity in dense paragraphs, especially where small apertures and joins pick up extra texture. It performs best when given breathing room (larger sizes or looser tracking) so the rough edges read as intentional texture instead of noise.
