A heavy, hand-rendered sans with chunky forms and rounded corners, built from uneven strokes that look brushed or stamped. The outlines are intentionally irregular and slightly wobbly, with rough edges and small voids/pinholes that create a printed, worn texture. Counters are generally open and simple, and spacing feels loose and organic, giving the alphabet a lively, non-mechanical rhythm.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, event flyers, packaging labels, and bold social graphics where a hand-printed look is desired. It can also work for album art, merchandise, and playful branding that benefits from a tactile, imperfect finish. For long passages or small sizes, the distressed details may soften clarity and are better reserved for emphasis.
The font reads as informal and energetic, with a crafty, street-poster sensibility. Its distressed texture adds a gritty, tactile feel while the rounded shapes keep it friendly rather than aggressive. Overall it conveys a playful, homemade tone with a touch of rawness.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-lettering or rough printmaking, combining strong, simple shapes with deliberate wear and ink breakup. It prioritizes personality and texture over precision, aiming to feel approachable, crafty, and attention-grabbing in display contexts.
The texture appears consistent across letters and numerals, suggesting deliberate distress rather than random noise. Letterforms maintain clear silhouettes despite the roughness, making it effective for short messages where personality is prioritized.
