A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and soft corners, shaped with an informal, hand-cut sensibility. Letterforms are simplified and sturdy, with broad curves and blunt terminals that keep counters open and readable. The defining detail is a worn, ink-scuffed texture: edges wobble slightly and the interiors show flecks and rough patches that mimic distressed printing. Spacing appears generous and the overall rhythm is lively rather than rigid, with small variations in contour that reinforce the handmade look.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, titles, badges, packaging, labels, and brand marks that want a tactile, analog feel. It also works well for short UI headers or social graphics when a friendly, worn-stamp character is desired.
The texture and buoyant shapes give a friendly, scrappy tone—like stamped packaging, screen-printed merch, or a well-used sign. It feels approachable and energetic, with a DIY attitude and a slightly vintage, rugged charm.
Designed to deliver bold impact with an intentionally imperfect, print-worn finish, combining simple rounded forms with surface distress to suggest handcrafted production and real-world use.
The distressing is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “printed-on-rough-paper” effect rather than random damage. Large sizes emphasize the gritty surface detail, while smaller sizes will read more as a soft, broken edge.
