A rounded, marker-like sans with softly inflated strokes and noticeably roughened edges. Letterforms are built from simple, sturdy geometry—open counters, broad curves, and minimal detailing—then disrupted by uneven inking, small voids, and speckled texture that suggests worn print or dry brush. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly irregular, with a generally friendly silhouette and steady upright stance. Spacing reads moderately open in text, while the texture adds visual noise that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes.
Works best for short-to-medium display settings where texture is a feature: posters, packaging, labels, merch graphics, and social or editorial headlines. It can also serve as a secondary typeface for playful branding systems, especially when paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a handmade grit that feels energetic rather than aggressive. Its rough printing character lends a DIY, crafty attitude—approachable, a bit messy, and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, rounded sans structure while foregrounding distressed print texture for personality. It aims to simulate imperfect ink coverage and worn edges to evoke a tactile, handmade feel without sacrificing overall legibility in larger sizes.
In the sample text, the distressed texture remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “inked” look. Round letters (like O/C/G) show the strongest edge wear, while verticals (like I/l/1) emphasize the brushy, uneven fill.
