A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and broadly curved bowls that keep letterforms feeling substantial. Strokes maintain a strong, even presence with softened corners and slightly irregular interior shaping that avoids a rigid geometric look. The face shows a noticeable distressed/ink-worn texture across fills, giving edges and interiors a speckled, printed character while preserving clear silhouettes. Spacing is generally generous and the rhythm is blocky and steady, with straightforward, highly legible forms in both upper- and lowercase and robust, simple numerals.
This font is best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks where its rounded weight and worn texture can be appreciated. It also works well for casual editorial callouts, event graphics, and merchandise-style applications that benefit from a sturdy, printed look.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a throwback, screen-printed feel. Its worn texture adds a handmade, gritty warmth that reads casual rather than corporate, making the type feel energetic and informal.
The design appears intended to combine an approachable rounded sans foundation with a deliberately weathered finish, evoking printed ephemera and giving modern layouts a more tactile, vintage-leaning voice.
The distressed pattern is consistent across glyphs, so large sizes emphasize the tactile texture, while smaller sizes may read more like a subtle noise. The bold massing and rounded construction keep words cohesive and headline-friendly even when the texture becomes more apparent.
