A rounded sans with an intentionally rough, inked outline and slightly uneven stroke edges that suggest hand printing or a worn stamp. Curves are broadly circular and open, while straight strokes show subtle waviness and occasional nicks, creating a dry, textured silhouette. Proportions are generally compact with sturdy bowls and simplified terminals; counters stay clear, and spacing reads even in text despite the organic irregularities. Numerals and capitals follow the same softened geometry and distressed edge treatment for a consistent, unified color on the page.
Well-suited to packaging, labels, posters, and brand marks that benefit from an artisanal or vintage-printed feel. It can also work for short paragraphs, pull quotes, and UI accents when a friendly, tactile texture is desired over a pristine sans appearance.
The overall tone feels handmade and approachable, with a casual, craft-like texture that adds warmth and personality. Its imperfect contours evoke analog processes—printed ephemera, packaging, or signage—rather than clinical digital precision.
The design appears intended to combine simple, rounded sans forms with a deliberately imperfect, print-worn finish, capturing the look of hand-inked or stamped lettering while keeping shapes legible and broadly familiar.
The distressed perimeter is the primary stylistic device, so the font’s character is most apparent at display and medium sizes where the edge texture remains visible without overwhelming letter shapes. In longer text, it maintains a steady rhythm, but the roughness continues to signal an intentionally informal voice.
