A compact, heavy display face with rounded, slightly squarish letterforms and a hand-inked look. Strokes are thick and generally monolinear, but the contours wobble subtly, with uneven edges and small interior nicks that mimic rough printing or a worn stamp. Counters are relatively tight, terminals are blunt, and curves (C, G, O) feel soft and bulbous rather than geometric. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey construction where expected, with short ascenders/descenders and dense overall color that stays consistent across letters and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, packaging callouts, stickers, and merchandise where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It can also work for playful branding accents and section headers, especially when paired with a clean text face for body copy.
The distressed surface and chunky silhouettes create a casual, mischievous tone—more zine and screen-print than corporate. It reads as friendly and a bit scrappy, conveying informal energy and a tactile, analog personality.
The design appears intended to deliver strong legibility with an intentionally imperfect, printed texture—capturing the feel of hand-inked lettering or a worn rubber-stamp impression while maintaining consistent proportions across the set.
Texture appears embedded in the black shapes rather than as an outline effect, so the distress stays visible at larger sizes and can start to fill in at smaller sizes. Figures are bold and simplified, matching the alphabet’s rounded weight and roughened finish.
