A heavy, rounded sans with chunky proportions and a slightly bouncy baseline feel. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with soft curves and blunt terminals that are irregularly notched and roughened, giving the outlines a worn, stamped/printed texture. Counters are generous and simplified, and the overall construction stays upright while allowing subtle, glyph-to-glyph width variation that adds an informal rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same bold, compact presence, with edges that remain consistently distressed rather than clean-cut.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where texture is an asset: posters, bold headlines, packaging labels, event graphics, and logo wordmarks that want a handmade or weathered imprint. It can also work for merchandise and signage-style applications, especially when set large with ample spacing.
The texture and uneven edges create a friendly but gritty tone—more hand-printed than engineered. It reads as approachable and energetic, with a craft-market, retro poster, or camp-sign vibe that feels intentionally imperfect and tactile.
Designed to deliver a bold, friendly silhouette while simulating imperfect production—like inked rubber stamps, worn wood type, or rough screen printing. The goal appears to be strong readability paired with an intentionally distressed surface for character and theme.
The distressing is most apparent along outer contours and terminals, producing small bites and waviness that can fill in at small sizes. The letterforms remain broadly legible thanks to large counters and simple shapes, but the rough perimeter becomes the dominant visual feature as size increases.
