A heavy, rounded sans with an intentionally rough, ink-worn texture throughout. Strokes are thick and compact with softened corners, but the outlines show irregular nibble-like erosion and occasional interior speckling that reads like distressed printing. Proportions are friendly and slightly uneven from glyph to glyph, with simplified forms, broad counters, and a steady upright stance. The lowercase is sturdy with a single-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm favors bold shapes and clear silhouettes over crisp geometry.
Best suited to display work where texture is desirable: posters, event promos, product packaging, labels, and merch graphics. It also works well for short punchy headlines in digital or print layouts that want a crafted, tactile feel, and for branding accents where personality matters more than neutrality.
The font projects a lively, handmade energy with a lo-fi, screenprinted feel. Its distressed edges add attitude and warmth, making the tone more informal and expressive than polished or corporate. The overall impression is bold and approachable, with a slightly rebellious, DIY character.
Designed to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice while embedding a worn, printed texture that suggests imperfect ink and physical production. The goal appears to be instant visual impact with a handmade, distressed finish that adds character without sacrificing legibility in larger sizes.
At text sizes the rough texture remains visible and becomes a key part of the voice, while in smaller settings the distressing may begin to fill in and reduce fine detail. The numerals and capitals hold strong presence for headlines, and the uneven edge treatment helps avoid a rigid, mechanical look.
