A wide, blunt sans with rounded corners and softly squared curves, drawn with a slightly uneven, inked texture. Strokes keep a generally consistent thickness but show subtle waviness and rough, imperfect edges that mimic worn printing or a marker-like fill. Counters are open and rounded, and terminals are flat to gently tapered, giving forms a sturdy, low-fuss rhythm. Spacing and widths vary modestly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an analog, hand-rendered impression while staying readable in lines of text.
Well-suited for display settings where texture and a handmade feel are desirable, such as posters, packaging, and product labels. It can also work for short headlines, signage, and merchandise graphics where a rugged, analog finish adds personality, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a practical, workmanlike tone with a gritty, lived-in finish. Its distressed texture reads as archival or shop-floor—suggesting stamped labels, weathered signage, or DIY production rather than polished corporate typography. Overall it feels approachable and informal, with a subtle retro-industrial attitude.
Likely designed to offer a wide, sturdy sans structure with the visual noise of worn print—combining straightforward geometry with distressed edges to create instant atmosphere. The goal appears to be dependable legibility paired with a tactile, imperfect surface for themed and character-forward typography.
In text, the rough edge behavior becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the irregular outline adds character without breaking letter recognition. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same blunt, rounded construction, supporting cohesive typographic color across mixed content.
