A compact, heavy sans with softly rounded corners and blunt terminals. The forms are mostly monoline in feel, with subtle, uneven edge erosion and occasional interior nicks that mimic worn ink or rough printing. Curves are open and slightly squarish, counters are generously sized for the weight, and stroke joins stay simple and sturdy. Overall spacing and glyph widths vary a bit, contributing to an organic rhythm while remaining legible at display sizes.
Well suited to short-form display typography such as posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and merchandise where a tactile, printed look is desired. It can also work for logos and event graphics that benefit from a friendly, worn-in texture. For best results, use at moderate to large sizes so the distressing remains clear without compromising readability.
The texture and softened geometry give a friendly, DIY attitude—more screen‑printed poster than corporate signage. It reads as casual and approachable, with a lightly gritty patina that suggests use, age, or analog production. The tone lands between playful and rugged, making it feel energetic without turning chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, compact display voice with an intentionally weathered finish. Its goal is to combine simple, readable shapes with analog texture, evoking rough ink, stamped lettering, or screen-print artifacts for expressive branding and themed graphics.
Uppercase letters maintain a stable, upright stance, while the lowercase introduces more personality through uneven stems and slightly irregular bowls. Numerals share the same rounded, worn treatment, keeping the set visually cohesive. The distressed detail is consistent across glyphs, so the texture reads as intentional rather than accidental.
