A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and a broad, blocky silhouette. Strokes are thick and simplified, with soft corners and slightly uneven terminals that read like imperfect inking. Distressing appears as small chips, scuffs, and occasional interior voids, creating a mottled texture without breaking overall legibility. The lowercase is sturdy and single-storey where applicable, with short extenders and a consistent, solid rhythm suited to large sizes.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, bold headlines, brand marks, packaging callouts, and apparel graphics where texture is an asset. It performs especially well when you want a strong silhouette with a worn finish, and when set at larger sizes where the distressing can be clearly appreciated.
The texture and chunky forms give the font a bold, hands-on feel—like stamped, screen-printed, or well-worn lettering. It comes across as friendly but tough, pairing a rounded base with gritty imperfections that add attitude and a casual, DIY energy.
The design appears intended to merge a friendly, rounded display skeleton with deliberate wear and print artifacts, delivering instant character and a tactile, analog impression. It prioritizes impact and texture over precision, making it ideal for attention-grabbing, themed typography.
The distressed details vary subtly from glyph to glyph, producing an intentionally imperfect, printed-on-rough-stock look. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, poster-like proportions, keeping lines of display text visually dense and impactful.
