A heavy, rounded sans with blunt terminals and softly squared curves, rendered with intentionally rough edges and slightly mottled interiors. Strokes keep a broadly even thickness while showing organic wobble, giving the letterforms a stamped/inked feel rather than a clean geometric build. Counters are open and generous for the weight, and proportions lean wide with sturdy, compact joins. Overall spacing reads steady and readable, while the distressed texture adds visible grit at text and display sizes.
Well-suited to display-driven work where texture is an asset: posters, flyers, and event materials, as well as packaging, labels, and apparel graphics that benefit from a printed or stamped look. It can also serve for short bursts of copy—taglines, pull quotes, and signage—when a casual, handcrafted voice is desired.
The font projects a friendly roughness—approachable and humorous, with a DIY, screen-printed attitude. Its imperfect outlines suggest tactile production and lend an informal, slightly nostalgic tone that feels energetic without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to combine a bold, rounded sans foundation with a deliberate worn/inked treatment to evoke tactile printing and handmade signage. The goal is clear, friendly readability paired with characterful texture for themed and expressive applications.
The distress is consistent across the set, appearing as edge chipping and subtle speckling within filled areas, which can create a lively texture in blocks of text. Rounded shapes (like O, C, and S) stay cohesive with the squared-off corners and thickened joins, maintaining a unified, sturdy rhythm.
