A compact, monoline sans with rounded corners and visibly irregular outlines, as if stamped or printed on absorbent paper. Strokes stay fairly even but wobble subtly, with nicks and soft bumps along edges that create a consistent distressed texture. Proportions are simple and open, with a tall x-height and straightforward, upright rhythm that keeps paragraphs readable despite the rough finish.
Works well for music and event posters, indie packaging, editorial pull quotes, book covers, and branding that wants a lo-fi or handcrafted attitude. It can also suit game UI or title screens when a distressed, print-worn texture is desired, and it holds up best at display sizes or short text where the texture can read clearly.
This font gives off a handmade, slightly gritty tone, like text pulled from an old poster, zine, or photocopied flyer. Its friendly, informal voice feels approachable and human, while the rough texture adds a hint of urgency and edge.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect ink and worn reproduction, keeping basic sans forms intact while adding tactile irregularity. It balances legibility with deliberate roughness, aiming for an authentic, analog feel rather than polished neutrality.
The distressing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “printed” texture. Spacing and shapes stay fairly straightforward, helping longer lines remain coherent while still retaining the irregular, handmade surface.
