A heavy, chunky sans with simplified, mostly monoline construction and softly rounded terminals. Edges are intentionally rough and uneven, with small nicks, pits, and sporadic counters that mimic worn type, dry brush, or imperfect printing. The forms are compact and sturdy, with broad curves, short joins, and slightly inconsistent stroke boundaries that create a lively, hand-inked rhythm while keeping lettershapes clear at display sizes.
Works best for posters, packaging, labels, and apparel graphics where texture is part of the message. It suits punchy headlines, badges, and short callouts, especially in single-color applications that benefit from an inked, imperfect finish.
The overall tone feels tactile and human, like stamped packaging, screen-printed merch, or hand-painted signage. Its distressing reads as friendly rather than aggressive, giving it a casual, slightly retro character with a lived-in, DIY energy.
Likely designed to provide an approachable display face that blends sturdy sans letterforms with deliberate wear and printing artifacts. The goal appears to be adding analog texture and personality without sacrificing immediate legibility in large sizes.
Distressing is distributed across both exterior contours and interior areas, producing a textured silhouette that becomes more prominent as size increases. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic, maintaining a cohesive set for headlines and short bursts of text.
