A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and a subtly uneven, hand-printed finish. Strokes are thick with noticeable internal counters, and many joins and terminals show irregular nicks, soft dents, and occasional notch-like cut-ins that create a distressed/ink-worn texture. Curves are generally broad and circular, while diagonals and stems keep a slightly inconsistent edge that adds movement and texture without breaking the overall structure. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms and short extenders that keep the rhythm dense and blocky.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, packaging callouts, labels, social graphics, and logo wordmarks where the distressed details can be appreciated. It can work for display-size subheads, but the built-in roughness and dense weight make it less ideal for long text or small UI sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and mischievous, combining bold presence with a crafty, imperfect surface. It reads as casual and energetic, with a vintage-print or DIY poster vibe rather than a pristine corporate feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans voice with intentionally imperfect edges—evoking ink spread, worn printing, or hand-cut stencil artifacts—while keeping letterforms simple and highly recognizable.
The texture is built into the letterforms (not a separate overlay), producing visible bite marks and rough interior edges that become more apparent at larger sizes. Round letters like O/C/G and numerals show the strongest distressed character, while straight-sided capitals retain a more poster-like solidity.
