A heavy, rounded sans with simplified, chunky forms and softened corners. Strokes are thick and fairly even, but the contours show intentional roughness and interior scuffing that mimics worn ink or imperfect printing. Curves are broad and open, terminals are blunt, and joins are sturdy, giving letters a compact, poster-like presence. Numerals follow the same robust construction with slightly irregular outlines that keep the set feeling handcrafted rather than strictly geometric.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headings, labels, and packaging where the textured edges can contribute to the message. It also fits merchandise graphics and social media titles that benefit from a bold, tactile, DIY look; for small text, the distressing may become less distinct and read more like general roughness.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a gritty, screen-printed character that feels energetic and approachable. Its distressed texture adds a vintage, well-used flavor that reads as casual and a bit rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans silhouette while adding a deliberately weathered print texture for character and theme. It prioritizes visual personality and punch over clinical precision, aiming to evoke handmade production and vintage ephemera.
The distressing is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive “printed-on-paper” patina. Spacing and rhythm feel designed for impact, with the texture becoming a defining feature at display sizes where the worn details remain visible.
