A compact, all-caps-and-lowercase sans with chunky strokes, slightly condensed proportions, and subtly uneven widths from glyph to glyph. Letterforms are built from simple, sturdy geometry—rounds are squarish, terminals are mostly blunt, and counters stay fairly open—while texture adds the defining character. Edges show consistent roughening and speckled wear, as if from imperfect inking or a distressed stamp, creating small nicks along stems and occasional interior mottling. Spacing reads a bit loose and lively rather than mechanically uniform, helping the texture stay legible at display sizes.
Works best for short to medium display text where the worn texture can be appreciated—posters, packaging, product labels, café menus, event graphics, and bold editorial headlines. It also suits logo marks or badges that aim for an analog, stamped or screen-printed impression, especially when paired with clean supporting text.
The overall tone feels handmade and timeworn, evoking printed ephemera, workshop labeling, or a well-used rubber stamp. Its friendly, slightly quirky shapes keep the distress from feeling harsh, landing in a casual, approachable “found” aesthetic rather than an aggressive grunge look.
Designed to mimic imperfect ink transfer and aged print while retaining straightforward, sturdy letter construction for dependable readability. The intent appears to be an easy-to-use distressed display face that adds instant vintage, handmade character without requiring additional texture effects.
The distress appears systematic across the set (not random per glyph), giving the font a cohesive worn-print identity. Numerals and uppercase maintain the same rugged edge treatment, and the texture remains visible even in continuous text, where it adds character without fully breaking readability.
