A bold, rounded sans with visibly uneven contours and a dry-ink texture that creates pitted counters and chipped terminals. Strokes are mostly monolinear but fluctuate subtly, producing a lively rhythm and slightly lumpy curves, especially in bowls and circular forms. Corners are softened, joins are imperfect, and the overall silhouette feels hand-formed rather than mechanically precise, while remaining clear and legible in continuous text.
Works well for display roles where texture is a feature: posters, titles, packaging, labels, album/playlist artwork, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can also handle short bursts of body copy in casual contexts, especially when printed at comfortable sizes where the distress remains readable.
The texture and wobble give the face an informal, human tone—like lettering made with a marker, stamp, or worn print block. It reads friendly and approachable, with a gritty edge that suggests DIY craft, zines, and tactile printmaking rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect ink transfer and hand-made letterforms while keeping straightforward proportions for readability. Its consistent rounded structure paired with controlled roughness suggests a deliberate “printed-worn” aesthetic meant to add warmth and tactility to modern layouts.
The distressed detail appears both on outer edges and within interior spaces, which adds character but can visually darken paragraphs at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same rounded, slightly irregular construction, keeping the set cohesive across display and short-copy use.
