A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softened corners, rendered with a deliberately rough, print-worn texture. Edges show irregular bite marks and speckled counters, creating a mottled ink/letterpress feel. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with simple, open forms and minimal stroke modulation; the rhythm is bouncy due to slightly uneven silhouettes across glyphs. Numerals and capitals read boldly, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, approachable structure.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, signage, and short punchy phrases where the worn texture can be appreciated. It also fits branding applications that want a handcrafted or vintage-print vibe—packaging, labels, apparel graphics, and social media title cards.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, mixing friendly rounded shapes with a gritty, imperfect surface. It evokes DIY posters, screen-printed merch, and stamped packaging—confident, a little mischievous, and intentionally unpolished.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly rounded skeleton, then humanize it through a deliberately distressed, ink-worn treatment. The goal appears to be bold readability with a tactile, analog personality reminiscent of imperfect printing processes.
Texture is consistent across the set, with visible interior speckling and occasional rough nicks along stems and curves. The design favors simple construction and strong fill, which helps it stay legible at display sizes while the distress adds character and reduces a “slick” finish.
