A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and blunt terminals. Strokes are largely uniform with gently softened corners, giving the outlines a friendly, sturdy silhouette rather than a sharp geometric feel. A consistent worn texture appears as small chips and speckled voids within strokes, like ink loss or rough printing, while counters remain open and legible. Overall spacing reads generous and the shapes feel stable and compact, supporting strong headline color.
Best suited to display applications where the texture can be appreciated—posters, logos, packaging, labels, and attention-grabbing headlines. It also works well for signage or event graphics that want a sturdy, printed-on-paper or stamped look; for small UI text the distressed details may become less distinct.
The distressed texture pushes the tone toward tactile and analog: printed, handled, and slightly weathered. It balances approachability from the rounded forms with a tough, workmanlike edge, creating a confident, poster-ready voice that feels vintage without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, friendly shapes with an intentionally worn finish—evoking imperfect print processes and giving otherwise clean letterforms a tactile, lived-in character.
The distress is relatively even across letters and numerals, functioning as a surface layer rather than heavy deformation of the silhouettes. Curves are smooth and continuous, and the design avoids delicate joins, helping the texture read clearly at display sizes.
