A sans-serif with softly rounded forms and intentionally uneven, ink-pressed outlines. Strokes keep a generally steady thickness but show subtle wobble, blunt terminals, and occasional nicks or filled-in texture that suggest rough printing or marker-like pressure. Counters are open and simple, with single-storey lowercase forms (notably a and g) and a straightforward, legible skeleton. Overall spacing and proportions feel slightly loose and wide, with irregularities that read as crafted rather than geometric.
Works well in display sizes for posters, packaging, labels, and branding where a tactile, handmade feel is desired. It can also support short bursts of text—taglines, captions, or pull quotes—when a casual, imperfect texture is part of the visual concept. For clean, long-form reading, its rough edges may feel visually busy compared to smoother sans styles.
The face conveys an informal, human tone—friendly and approachable, but with a gritty, analog edge. Its roughened contour and slightly imperfect rhythm evoke DIY craft, stamped packaging, or screen-printed ephemera, balancing charm with a lightly distressed attitude.
Designed to deliver a legible sans structure with an intentionally imperfect surface, simulating worn ink, stamping, or rough reproduction. The aim appears to be adding personality and analog texture while preserving straightforward letterforms for practical use in attention-grabbing typography.
The distressed effect appears consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive ‘printed’ texture rather than random damage. Round letters (O, Q, 0, 8) emphasize the irregular outline, while straight-sided letters (E, F, T, I) show subtle waviness that reinforces the handmade impression. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the same softened corners and rough perimeter.
