A compact, sturdy sans with rounded terminals and slightly irregular, ink-worn edges that suggest rough printing or a dry brush. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with subtle wobble and softened corners that keep the forms friendly rather than rigid. Proportions are condensed overall, with open counters and simple construction; curves are broad and verticals stay mostly straight, while the texture introduces a lively, imperfect rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where the textured imprint can be appreciated—posters, headers, packaging, labels, and casual signage. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when a handcrafted, printed-on-paper feel is desired, rather than a pristine corporate finish.
The texture and uneven imprint give the face a casual, tactile tone—more handmade and rustic than technical. It reads as approachable and slightly nostalgic, like stamped packaging or screen-printed signage, with a playful edge that suits lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver bold, condensed readability with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture—capturing the look of worn type, stamped ink, or rough reproduction while keeping letterforms straightforward and familiar.
The distressed effect is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, adding character without fully obscuring letterforms. Capitals have a poster-like presence, while lowercase remains compact and utilitarian; the overall spacing feels tight and cohesive, reinforcing the condensed, punchy color on the page.
