A heavy, chunky sans with softly rounded corners and slightly uneven, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are thick and generally monolinear, but edges and counters show intentional roughness—small nicks, gaps, and speckled voids that mimic worn ink or distressed printing. Letterforms lean toward compact proportions with low-to-moderate ascenders and a relatively small x-height, while widths vary enough to create an irregular, handmade rhythm. Curves are generous and simplified, terminals are blunt, and shapes like O, C, and G read as sturdy, almost stamp-like silhouettes.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, packaging callouts, headlines, badges, and merch graphics where a handmade or vintage-printed feel is desirable. It can also work for branding elements that want a bold, friendly voice with tactile texture, especially when set large enough for the distress details to remain legible.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a tactile, imperfect texture that feels crafty and nostalgic. Its bold presence and scuffed surface add a rugged, poster-ready attitude, balancing approachability with a slightly grungy edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with the warmth of hand-drawn lettering and the character of worn print. Its simplified forms prioritize immediate recognition, while the roughened edges and speckled counters provide personality and a tactile, analog finish.
The distressing appears consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “worn ink” texture rather than random noise. Spacing in text samples reads open and readable at display sizes, with the texture becoming a defining feature as sizes increase.
