A chunky sans with irregular, distressed contours that feel inked and slightly eroded rather than crisply drawn. Strokes are heavy and generally monolinear, with wobbly edges, occasional nicks, and softly flattened terminals that suggest rough printing or a worn stencil/marker impression. Counters are compact and sometimes lopsided, contributing to a bouncy rhythm and slightly inconsistent texture across words, while maintaining clear basic letter skeletons for legibility at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, apparel, stickers, and product packaging with a handmade or rough-printed aesthetic. It can work for brief subheads or callouts, but the irregular edges and dense counters make it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, with a casual, slightly mischievous energy. Its roughened silhouette reads as DIY, lo‑fi, and tactile—more like something stamped, screen-printed, or painted than digitally pristine.
The design appears intended to mimic the character of imperfect ink transfer—worn edges, uneven pressure, and rough production—while keeping letterforms simple enough to stay readable. It prioritizes tactile personality and visual noise over precision, aiming for an authentic, print-worn display voice.
Uppercase forms are blocky and compact, while lowercase retains simple, sturdy constructions; punctuation and numerals match the same distressed, ink-heavy treatment. The texture becomes a defining feature in longer lines, creating a lively, speckled color on the page rather than a smooth typographic gray.
