A heavy, display-oriented sans with rounded, compact bowls and broadly simplified letterforms. Strokes feel brush-inked and irregular, with visibly rough edges, small chips, and occasional interior voids that mimic worn printing or dry-brush texture. Terminals are blunt and uneven, curves are slightly wobbly, and counters vary in size, creating a lively rhythm and a deliberately imperfect baseline and silhouette. Numerals match the same chunky construction and distressed texture, reading clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, event promotion, and graphic merchandise where the distressed edges contribute to the message. It also works well for thematic titles and display copy that benefits from a handmade, worn-print vibe, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, combining a rugged, weathered feel with an approachable, cartoonish friendliness. It suggests hand-made signage and imperfect printmaking, giving text an energetic, slightly rebellious character rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a hand-inked, rough-printed texture, evoking the look of stamped or screenprinted lettering. Its simplified, rounded forms prioritize quick recognition while the distressed contouring adds attitude and tactile character.
The texture is consistent across the set, with speckled gaps and torn-looking contours that become a defining feature of the color. The irregularity adds personality but can visually fill in at smaller sizes, so the distressed details are most effective when given room to show.
