A heavy, rounded display face with chunky strokes and softly inflated silhouettes. Edges are intentionally irregular, with rough ink spread and pitted counters that create a worn, printed texture. Curves dominate over sharp corners, terminals are blunt, and proportions feel slightly uneven from glyph to glyph, producing an organic rhythm. Numerals and letters share the same dense color and consistent, poster-friendly presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where the distressed texture can read clearly. It also fits branding for craft, vintage-inspired, or outdoorsy themes, and works well for album art and event flyers that benefit from a rugged, handmade impression.
The overall tone is earthy and informal—like bold hand-painted signage or a well-used stamp. Its roughened texture adds grit and attitude while the rounded forms keep it approachable, giving it a playful, DIY energy rather than an aggressive industrial feel.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing voice with the authenticity of imperfect print—combining friendly rounded letterforms with deliberate wear to evoke tactile ink and vintage, DIY production.
In text settings the distress remains visible at larger sizes, contributing character and movement across lines. The irregularities vary subtly between glyphs, which helps avoid a mechanically repeated pattern while maintaining a cohesive, inky look.
