A heavy, rounded sans with thick strokes and compact counters, softened corners, and a visibly distressed edge treatment. Letterforms are built from simple geometric masses but show irregular contours and occasional nicks, giving the silhouette a worn, inked look. Proportions are generally sturdy and wide-set, with simple, single-storey lowercase forms and straightforward numerals that keep the overall rhythm solid and emphatic. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reading like deliberate roughening rather than random noise.
Best suited for display applications where texture and impact are desirable, such as posters, event titles, product packaging, and brand marks that want a rugged or handmade voice. It can also work for short signage and punchy callouts, especially when set large enough for the distressed edges to read cleanly.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian tone with a handmade, imperfect energy. Its worn texture adds grit and character, creating a casual, street-level feel that can also read friendly due to the rounded construction. Overall it feels assertive, informal, and slightly vintage in spirit.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans framework while adding a worn, printed texture for instant character. Its simplified construction and consistent distressing suggest a focus on high-impact display use and a deliberately imperfect, analog feel.
The distressed perimeter and filled-in areas reduce fine detail, so the design relies on strong silhouettes and generous stroke weight for clarity. At smaller sizes the texture may visually close counters and soften internal shapes, while at larger sizes the roughness becomes a defining graphic feature.
