A compact, heavy sans with rounded corners and subtly uneven contours. Strokes are thick and assertive, with tight interior counters and simplified joins that read clearly at display sizes. The outlines show intentional wear—small nicks, rough edges, and speckled ink texture—creating a printed, slightly imperfect surface. Overall proportions are condensed, with sturdy verticals and a steady baseline rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, stickers, and merchandise graphics. The distressed detailing gives personality in larger sizes and works well where a tactile, printed look is desired; for long passages or small UI sizes, the tight counters and texture can reduce clarity.
The font conveys a bold, gritty friendliness—like hand-stamped packaging or a well-used poster block. Its soft, rounded skeleton keeps the tone approachable, while the distressed texture adds grit and authenticity. The result feels energetic and casual, with a throwback, analog character.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a compact silhouette and a deliberately imperfect print finish. The combination of rounded block forms and worn texture suggests an intention to evoke analog production—stamp, screen, or rough press—while staying readable and punchy in display settings.
Uppercase forms appear especially compact and blocky, while lowercase keeps simple, single-storey shapes that maintain the same chunky color. Numerals are heavy and uniform, matching the letterforms’ rounded geometry and worn print texture.
