A heavy, forward-leaning sans with chunky strokes and rounded terminals, drawn with an intentionally irregular, inked texture. Edges look worn and slightly broken, as if printed from a soft stamp or painted with a loaded brush, creating mottled interiors and small voids. Curves are broad and friendly while joins and stroke widths wobble subtly, giving the forms a hand-rendered rhythm rather than geometric precision. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, contributing to an energetic, poster-like color in text.
Best suited to display settings where texture is a feature: posters, event flyers, album/playlist art, apparel graphics, craft-food packaging, and bold social graphics. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a rough, analog feel, but the distressed details favor larger sizes over long-form reading.
The overall tone is gritty yet upbeat—casual, expressive, and a bit rebellious. Its distressed surface suggests analog production (screen print, stamp, rough lettered signage), which reads as authentic and tactile rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, slanted display voice with deliberately imperfect, worn edges—evoking hand-painted lettering and rough printmaking. It prioritizes personality and tactile texture over strict uniformity, aiming for impact and a handmade authenticity.
Uppercase is compact and sturdy with softened corners, while lowercase maintains the same brushy texture and slanted stance for a cohesive, informal voice. Numerals are thick and attention-grabbing, matching the alphabet’s rugged texture, and the italic angle adds motion even at short sizes.
