A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Letterforms are built from simple rounded blocks and curved bowls, with blunt terminals and minimal modulation, giving a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. The outlines show intentional roughness and small speckled voids, producing a distressed, ink-worn texture that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Spacing is generous and the overall rhythm is bouncy, with slightly irregular interior shapes that keep the set lively rather than strictly geometric.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging labels, and bold wordmarks where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also works well for apparel and sticker-style graphics, while smaller sizes may reduce the visibility of the interior wear and tighten counters.
The overall tone feels energetic and fun, leaning toward vintage display lettering with a worn, printed character. Its chunky shapes and rough surface read as informal and friendly, with a hint of rebellious, handcrafted grit.
The design appears intended to deliver a loud, attention-grabbing display voice with a worn print feel, combining chunky rounded construction with a consistent distressed treatment for immediate character.
The texture is integrated into the black shapes rather than appearing as separate overlay marks, so it remains visible even in larger settings. Numerals match the letterforms’ weight and rounding, maintaining the same playful sturdiness in mixed alphanumeric use.
