A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners, giving counters and bowls a superellipse-like feel. Strokes are thick and fairly even, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, with a dry, inked texture that creates small nicks and waviness along edges. Curves are broad and sturdy, joins are blunt, and terminals tend to end in flattened, slightly uneven cuts. Spacing reads sturdy and headline-oriented, with lively width variation and slightly inconsistent silhouettes that enhance the handcrafted look.
Best suited to display use: posters, bold editorial headlines, event graphics, packaging, and signage where texture can contribute personality. It can also work for short bursts of copy (pull quotes, labels, UI banners), but the rough edges and dense weight make it more effective when given space and size.
The overall tone is bold and informal, mixing friendly rounded shapes with a gritty, printed texture. It suggests a tactile, analog feel—like stamped, screen-printed, or distressed lettering—while staying legible and straightforward. The result feels energetic and characterful rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a sturdy, approachable sans foundation while introducing a distressed, handmade surface for added character. Its rounded-rectangle geometry keeps forms clear and friendly, while the irregular outline provides an analog, printed authenticity.
The uppercase set feels especially poster-ready, while the lowercase and numerals maintain the same roughened contour for consistency. The distressed perimeter texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the irregular edge detail reads as deliberate “ink bite.”
