A heavy, compact sans with thick, rounded strokes and visibly irregular, ragged edges throughout. Counters are generally open and rounded, with a slightly pinched, carved feel in places where the outline wobbles or flattens. The lowercase is squat and sturdy with simple, single-storey forms, and spacing feels generous enough to keep the dense shapes readable. Overall rhythm is lively and uneven by design, with subtle per-glyph variation that reads like inked or cut shapes rather than rigid geometry.
Best suited to short, bold copy where the rough edge can read as a deliberate texture—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, stickers, and event promotion. It can work for logos or wordmarks that want a handmade, slightly rugged finish, and it benefits from moderate-to-large sizes where the distressed contour stays crisp and intentional.
The texture gives a gritty, DIY character that feels informal and energetic. Its softened silhouettes keep it approachable, while the distressed perimeter adds attitude and a slightly mischievous tone. The result lands somewhere between craft-made warmth and poster-ready roughness.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans voice with an added distressed, hand-formed texture—combining simple, rounded structures with intentionally imperfect edges to create a lively, tactile display look.
The distressed outline is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive texture when set in words. Round letters retain clear interiors, but the most angular forms pick up extra chisel-like bumps, which adds visual noise at small sizes and makes it shine more when given room.
