A textured, hand-rendered display face with uneven stroke edges and intermittent interior voids that mimic worn ink or rough printing. Letterforms are largely upright with sturdy, blocky stems and softly irregular curves, producing a lively, slightly wobbly rhythm across lines. Counters tend to be open and somewhat inconsistent, and terminals often look ragged or torn rather than cleanly cut, giving the alphabet a deliberately imperfect, analog feel.
Works well for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, event flyers, album or podcast artwork, and themed packaging. It can also support title treatment on book covers or editorial openers where a worn, analog texture is desirable, but it is less suited to long-form body copy or small UI text due to its built-in distressing.
The font conveys a gritty, weathered tone—part handmade signage, part aged print ephemera. Its distressed texture adds tension and a hint of menace, making it feel rustic, rebellious, and a little macabre depending on color and setting.
The design appears intended to replicate the look of imperfect ink coverage and aged, distressed letterpress or marker lettering while retaining familiar, readable skeletons. Its variable character widths and roughened details prioritize personality and atmosphere over strict regularity, aiming for an authentic, handmade printed effect.
Texture is baked into the shapes (not just along the outline), so dark areas can appear mottled and uneven at smaller sizes. Spacing and character widths vary noticeably, which enhances the handmade impression but can make tightly set paragraphs feel busy; it reads best with a bit of extra tracking and line spacing.
