A chunky, ink-heavy display face with rounded, slightly condensed letterforms and intentionally uneven contours. Strokes are thick and somewhat irregular, with softened terminals and subtle wobble that suggests marker or brush lettering. The fill shows a distressed, speckled texture and occasional nicks along edges, giving the glyphs a worn, imperfect print look. Curves are emphasized over sharp corners, counters are compact, and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph for an organic rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, album covers, and event promotions where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work for logos or badges when used at sizes large enough for the distress details to read clearly.
The overall tone feels gritty yet friendly—like handmade signage or a well-loved stamp that’s been used many times. Its rough texture adds attitude and a DIY edge, while the rounded forms keep it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver bold readability with a deliberately weathered, handmade character—combining heavy forms with built-in texture to create instant visual grit without additional effects.
The distressed pattern is consistent across letters and numerals, producing visible “ink dropout” inside heavy black shapes. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same soft, blobby construction as the caps, supporting cohesive headline settings.
