A heavy, monospaced display face with chunky, compact letterforms and conspicuously rough, uneven contours. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, but the outlines wobble and chip, creating a worn, stamped look with occasional interior bites and irregular counters. Terminals are blunt and blocky, and the overall rhythm is steady and gridlike while individual glyphs retain a handmade, distressed texture.
Best suited to display settings where texture is part of the message—posters, cover art, title cards, event promos, and branded graphics that want a distressed punch. It can work for short paragraphs in large sizes, but the rough edges and dense weight make it less ideal for small UI text or long-form reading.
The tone is gritty and expressive, evoking worn printing, DIY signage, and rough ink on paper. Its irregular edges add energy and attitude, reading as playful-but-tough rather than refined or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, monospaced presence while adding visual grit through deliberately degraded outlines. It prioritizes impact and personality over smooth precision, creating a typewriter-like grid feel with a distressed, ink-worn finish.
Uppercase forms appear especially sturdy and poster-ready, while lowercase retains a simplified, sturdy structure that keeps words readable at moderate sizes. Numerals match the same battered silhouette, making the set feel cohesive for headings and short bursts of text.
