A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded, blunt terminals and a visibly roughened texture that reads like worn ink or distressed printing. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with softened corners and small irregular notches along the outlines and counters that create a mottled, press-like grain. Proportions are expansive and open, with generous bowls and wide interior spaces that keep the texture from clogging at display sizes. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly bouncy, with mild inconsistencies that reinforce a handmade, distressed construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the chunky shapes and texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and sticker-style branding. It can also work for social graphics and event promos that benefit from a worn, analog print feel, while very small sizes may reduce the legibility of the distressing.
The font conveys an informal, energetic tone with a gritty, street-poster attitude. Its slanted stance and chunky forms feel friendly rather than aggressive, suggesting DIY signage, stamped packaging, or worn print ephemera. The distressed surface adds a tactile, analog flavor that can make layouts feel more immediate and human.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with an intentionally weathered, printed texture. By combining wide, rounded letterforms with consistent erosion, it aims to mimic imperfect ink coverage and add instant character to contemporary, casual branding.
The distressing appears embedded throughout both outer contours and counters, producing a consistent speckled/eroded look across letters and figures. Numerals and capitals maintain the same soft, rounded construction, helping mixed settings feel cohesive while still retaining a deliberately imperfect finish.
