A heavy, rounded sans with blunt terminals and noticeably rough, irregular contours that read like ink spread or torn paper edges. Counters are generally open and circular, while stems and bowls stay compact and blocky, creating a dense texture. The baseline and sidebearings feel slightly uneven from glyph to glyph, producing a lively rhythm without sacrificing overall legibility. Numerals follow the same chunky construction with simple, robust shapes suited to impact-driven settings.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, titles, logos, packaging callouts, and merchandise graphics where texture adds attitude. It also works well for editorial display moments and themed signage that benefits from an inked or stamped look. For long passages, larger sizes and generous leading help maintain readability.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade energy—confident and a bit mischievous—like a stamped, painted, or screen-printed headline. Its uneven edges add warmth and personality, giving text an intentionally imperfect, analog feel rather than a polished corporate tone.
Designed to deliver high-impact display typography with an intentionally rough, handcrafted finish while keeping familiar, rounded sans structures for quick recognition. The goal appears to be a bold voice that feels printed and tactile, adding personality through controlled irregularity rather than through ornament.
The distressed outline treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, so the texture becomes part of the voice rather than an occasional effect. At larger sizes the roughness reads as character; at smaller sizes the edge detail may visually thicken and soften interior details, so spacing and size choice matter for clarity.
