A heavy, rounded sans with chunky proportions and softly squared terminals. Strokes show noticeable texture and wear—small nicks, uneven edges, and occasional interior speckling—creating a rough-printed, ink-stamped impression. Counters are generally compact and simplified, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are broad and friendly rather than geometric. Overall spacing and letterfit feel built for impact, with sturdy shapes that stay legible even with the distressed surface.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, bold headlines, packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics. It also works well for playful branding, event promos, and short punchy statements where a rough-printed look helps differentiate the message.
The tone is bold and approachable with a gritty, hands-on character. It reads like playful signage that’s been screen-printed, stamped, or weathered, balancing friendliness with a tough, slightly noisy texture.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with friendly rounded forms while adding a distressed, analog-print finish for character. It aims to feel informal and tactile—like bold lettering made by hand or produced through a slightly imperfect printing process.
The distressing is consistent enough to feel intentional rather than accidental, adding visual movement across large text blocks. The irregularities are subtle at a distance but become a prominent feature at display sizes, where the worn edges and ink texture carry most of the personality.
