A heavy, rounded sans with compact, sturdy shapes and softly curved terminals. Counters are generally open and circular, while strokes maintain a mostly consistent thickness with subtle modulation in curves. Many glyphs show deliberate roughening—small chips, nicks, and uneven interior edges—creating a distressed print texture without breaking the silhouettes. Proportions feel slightly condensed in some letters and more expansive in others, giving the set a gently irregular rhythm that reads as intentional and handcrafted.
Works best for display settings where the rough texture can be appreciated: posters, product packaging, event graphics, and brand marks with a handmade or vintage angle. It can also support short subheads or pull quotes, but the distressed details may become less clear at small text sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a vintage, poster-like energy. The distressed detailing adds grit and warmth, suggesting analog printing, stamped lettering, or worn signage rather than a clinical digital finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans foundation with an added distressed layer for character and authenticity. It aims for strong readability at display sizes while evoking a worn, printed aesthetic associated with retro advertising and crafted goods.
Uppercase forms are bold and simple with round bowls (C, D, O, Q) and strong verticals, while lowercase keeps a friendly, readable structure with single-storey a and g. Numerals are chunky and high-impact, matching the letter weight and carrying the same worn-in texture. The texture is most noticeable in larger sizes, where the chipped edges become a defining visual feature.
