A rugged, ink-heavy roman with visibly roughened contours and uneven fill that suggests worn printing or a dry marker. Strokes are compact and mostly straight, with occasional bulges, nicks, and soft corners that create a mottled edge quality. Counters are small and sometimes irregular, and terminals appear blunt rather than cleanly cut. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed, while lowercase shows simplified, workmanlike shapes with modest differentiation and an overall compressed texture.
Best suited for display use such as posters, album/playlist artwork, event graphics, and short headlines where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It can also work on packaging, labels, and branded badges that want a stamped or screen-printed feel, especially when paired with simpler companion text.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade tone—like text pulled from an old stamp, photocopy, or weathered poster. Its rough texture reads as informal and rebellious, with a playful, imperfect energy that leans toward DIY and underground aesthetics.
The design appears intended to mimic rough printing artifacts and hand-inked lettering, prioritizing texture and attitude over precision. It aims to deliver instant character and a tactile, analog impression in bold, attention-getting settings.
Texture is a primary feature: the irregular outline and inconsistent interior density create a lively rhythm that becomes more apparent in longer text. Spacing appears tight and the heavy, distressed edges can visually close up at smaller sizes, while larger settings showcase the character of the wear and ink variation.
