A heavy, rounded sans with chunky proportions and slightly uneven contours. Strokes are thick and blunt-ended, with softened corners and visible roughness along edges and inside counters that suggests worn printing or an ink-stamped texture. Letterforms are generally simple and geometric but intentionally imperfect, with small variations in curvature and width that add a handmade rhythm. Counters are compact and often irregular, and punctuation/details like the i/j dots appear as solid blocks, reinforcing the rugged, cutout feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where the rough texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, product packaging, stickers, and merchandise graphics. It also works well for event promos, album/cover art, and playful branding that wants a bold silhouette with a worn, analog finish.
The overall tone is bold and friendly with a gritty, tactile edge. It reads as informal and energetic—more zine, poster, and DIY than polished corporate—while staying legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a deliberately weathered, handmade print character. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and approachable roundness, then adds controlled irregularity to evoke DIY production and tactile ink-on-paper texture.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a unified distressed voice. Round characters (O, Q, 0) show pronounced interior irregularities, and diagonals (V, W, X) feel sturdy rather than sharp, keeping the look approachable despite the rough treatment.
