A heavy, rounded sans with irregular, distressed contours and visibly worn interior counters. Strokes are chunky and fairly uniform, but the edges break up with nicks, speckling, and uneven inking that creates a printed-from-rough-stamp feel. Letterforms stay broadly simple and upright, with softened corners and slightly inconsistent widths that add a hand-made rhythm. Numerals match the same rugged texture, keeping a cohesive, poster-forward presence.
Best suited to display settings where the distressed texture can do visual work: posters, headlines, product packaging, merch graphics, stickers, and social graphics. It can also support short subheads or callouts, but the worn counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or long body text when maximum clarity is required.
The texture and imperfect silhouettes give the font a gritty, DIY energy that feels informal and approachable rather than strict or technical. It reads like something pulled from a screen-printed tee, a stamped label, or a weathered sign—expressive, a bit messy, and intentionally raw.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly base skeleton with an overlay of worn, ink-printed distress, combining clear letter shapes with deliberate imperfections. It targets projects that need instant handmade character and a rough, tactile finish without switching to a fully script or brush style.
The distressed pattern is strong enough to become a primary stylistic feature, especially in smaller apertures and counters where the interior wear is most noticeable. Spacing appears comfortable and the overall shapes remain recognizable despite the roughness, making it effective when the texture is meant to be seen.
