A heavy, hand-printed sans with blunt terminals and softly rounded corners, built from simple geometric strokes and compact counters. The outlines show intentional wear: edges wobble slightly and the fill has speckled, ink-bleed texture that varies from glyph to glyph, creating a printed, imperfect rhythm. Proportions are sturdy and compact, with short ascenders/descenders and a generally uniform stroke presence; rounds (O, C, G, 8, 9) are full and slightly irregular, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel chunky and cut from the same blocky forms. Overall spacing reads steady and poster-friendly, with small interior openings that suit display sizes best.
Best suited for short to medium display text where the distressed texture can read clearly—posters, album or event graphics, product packaging, labels, badges, and merchandise. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or section headers, especially in projects aiming for an analog, printed finish.
The font conveys a rugged, analog tone—like letterforms pulled from a worn stamp, screen print, or rough press run. Its texture adds grit and approachability, balancing utilitarian signage energy with a slightly playful, handmade charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, legible display voice with an intentionally weathered print texture, evoking tactile production methods and adding instant character without sacrificing straightforward letter shapes.
Texture density is prominent and consistent enough to be a defining feature, but irregular enough to keep repeated letters from feeling mechanical. The lowercase maintains the same sturdy construction as the capitals, supporting mixed-case settings with a cohesive, hand-inked character.
