A textured, print-worn sans with monoline strokes and noticeably irregular, eroded edges. Forms are mostly straightforward and upright, but the outlines wobble subtly as if made with a rough marker or degraded stamp, creating broken contours and uneven terminals. Counters stay generally open and legible, while the texture introduces speckling and occasional nicks that vary from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a handmade, imperfect rhythm.
Best suited for posters, music and event promotion, zines, album artwork, and packaging that benefits from an aged or rough-printed feel. It can work for headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of copy where the texture becomes a feature; for long-form reading, larger sizes and generous leading help preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels gritty and analog, like photocopied flyers, rubber-stamped labels, or type set under rough reproduction. It conveys a DIY, distressed energy that reads informal and slightly confrontational, leaning toward alternative and street-level aesthetics rather than polished corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect ink coverage and worn printing, combining familiar sans proportions with an intentionally degraded surface. The goal is to deliver immediate character and authenticity—evoking stamped, copied, or weathered typography—while keeping letterforms recognizable and usable.
Spacing appears comfortable for display and short text, but the heavily worn outlines create a lively, noisy color on the line—especially in rounded letters and numerals where the texture is most visible. Capital forms are simple and sturdy, while lowercase shapes maintain clear silhouettes despite the surface breakup.
