A heavy, wide sans with rounded geometry and softened corners, built from simple, sturdy shapes. Strokes are largely uniform but show subtle, irregular contouring that reads like worn printing or an inked stamp, with occasional nicks and uneven edges along curves and joins. Counters are generally open and generous, and the overall construction stays clean and legible despite the distressed surface texture.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold branding where the rough edge can be appreciated. It can also work for short signage or product labels that benefit from an industrial, stamped feel; for longer text, the heavy width and texture are likely most effective in brief bursts.
The texture and blunt, wide proportions give a rugged, workmanlike tone—confident, casual, and slightly gritty. It suggests printed ephemera and utilitarian signage, with a handmade, imperfect finish that feels approachable rather than polished.
The design appears intended to combine a straightforward, geometric sans structure with a lightly weathered finish, evoking worn ink and tactile print processes. The goal is impact and warmth—big shapes for clarity, plus distress for character and atmosphere.
The distress is consistent across the set and tends to appear as small edge breaks and roughened curves rather than heavy erosion, helping maintain readability at larger sizes. The wide stance and rounded terminals create a steady rhythm in all-caps settings, while the lowercase keeps the same blocky, friendly silhouette.
