A rounded, sans-serif design with soft corners, blunt terminals, and mostly monoline strokes. The letterforms keep a friendly, open structure with generous counters and a steady baseline, while widths vary subtly across glyphs for an informal rhythm. Distressing appears as roughened edges, small voids, and uneven ink coverage, giving the outlines a worn, screen-printed look without obscuring the core shapes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same sturdy, rounded construction, with occasional speckling and nicks that add texture in larger sizes.
This font suits headlines and short blocks of text where a friendly but worn texture is desirable—posters, packaging, labels, stickers, and merchandise graphics. It also works well for branding accents, event promos, and social graphics that want a tactile, printed feel, especially at medium to large sizes where the distressing can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels approachable and slightly retro, like a well-used stamp or printed sign with a bit of wear. Its texture reads as handmade and casual, bringing a relaxed, imperfect character that can feel playful or gritty depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to merge a clean, rounded sans foundation with an intentionally imperfect print texture, offering an easy-to-read display face that signals authenticity, craft, and a lightly vintage attitude.
The distress is consistent across the set, showing up as edge chipping and interior speckle rather than heavy deformation, so the font stays legible while still looking intentionally weathered. The rounded geometry and modest contrast help the texture feel integrated instead of noisy.
