A heavy, rounded sans with softened corners and irregular, worn contours. Strokes show a pronounced distressed texture—small voids, speckling, and uneven edges that mimic rough printing or ink drag—while counters stay generally open and legible. Proportions lean slightly wide and friendly, with sturdy verticals and simple, blocky constructions; curves are generously rounded and terminals appear blunt, as if pressed from a stamp. The overall rhythm is consistent but intentionally imperfect, giving each glyph a subtly handmade, scuffed finish.
Best suited to display applications where the texture can be appreciated: posters, labels and packaging, event graphics, apparel, and brand marks that want an analog, printed feel. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the distressed detailing may reduce clarity in long passages or at very small sizes.
The font conveys a casual, tactile attitude—like printed packaging, screen-printed merch, or a well-used rubber stamp. Its rough texture adds grit without feeling aggressive, keeping a warm, approachable tone that reads as playful and retro-leaning.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans silhouette with an intentionally aged, imperfect print character. It balances straightforward, readable shapes with consistent distressing to evoke tactile materials and hands-on production.
The distressing is distributed across both edges and interior areas, creating a convincing “worn ink” look that remains recognizable at display sizes. The figures match the letterforms’ chunky, rounded structure and carry the same textured breakup for visual consistency.
