A heavy, chunky sans with rounded geometry and noticeably irregular, eroded contours. Strokes have a blotty, inked texture with wobbly edges and occasional interior nibbling that makes counters feel slightly uneven from glyph to glyph. Terminals are blunt and softly rounded, and the overall construction favors simple, blocky shapes with compact apertures and sturdy verticals. Spacing and widths vary subtly, reinforcing a hand-printed, distressed rhythm while staying legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where texture is part of the message—posters, product packaging, labels, album art, and event graphics. It can work for subheads and callouts in larger sizes, but the distressed edges are likely to lose clarity in small UI or long-form reading contexts.
The texture and imperfect outlines give the face a gritty, analog feel—like stamped, screen-printed, or worn signage. Its friendly proportions and rounded skeleton keep it from feeling harsh, adding a casual, slightly mischievous tone that suits energetic, characterful messaging.
Designed to deliver bold impact while adding the visual noise of aged ink or rough reproduction. The goal appears to be a friendly, approachable display face that communicates authenticity and tactile, handmade production without sacrificing overall readability.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase maintains the same roughened edge treatment with relatively simple, single-storey constructions where applicable. The distressing is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive “printed-wear” look rather than random damage.
