A chunky, rounded sans with soft corners and bulbous terminals, built from heavy strokes and simple geometric bowls. The outlines stay generally clean and upright, while the counters and fills show a consistent worn texture—speckling, small voids, and scuffed patches that simulate imperfect inking or print wear. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with single-storey forms in the lowercase and a generally even, easy rhythm across words.
This font suits posters, packaging labels, headlines, and merchandise where a tactile, printed-on-paper vibe is desirable. It also works well for stickers, craft branding, and short callouts where the distressed texture can be appreciated without compromising readability.
The distressed texture and bouncy, rounded construction give the face a casual, handmade feel with a lightly retro, screen-printed character. It reads as friendly and approachable rather than aggressive, adding visual noise that feels crafty and tactile.
The design appears intended to combine a friendly rounded display skeleton with a deliberately worn ink/print texture, creating a bold, attention-getting look that still feels informal and approachable.
The texture is present across both uppercase and lowercase as interior erosion rather than ragged outer edges, which helps preserve silhouette clarity. Numerals follow the same soft, weighty construction, and the overall effect is strongest at display sizes where the speckling remains distinct.
