A chunky, compact sans with blunt terminals and slightly rounded corners, drawn with an intentionally uneven, printed texture. Strokes are heavy and fairly consistent, while edges show scuffing and small notches that create a worn, ink-stamped look. The letterforms are simple and sturdy with minimal modulation, and the overall fit is tight, yielding a dense, punchy color on the page. Counters are open and broadly shaped, and curves (C, O, S, e) keep a soft, friendly geometry despite the roughened outline.
Well suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, event titles, product packaging, labels, and casual brand marks that want a tactile, printed feel. It also works for merchandise graphics and social media headlines where the textured silhouette can read as intentional character rather than imperfection.
The face reads as approachable and energetic, with a crafted, imperfect finish that suggests hand-printing or rough production. Its mix of softness and abrasion gives it a nostalgic, maker-minded tone—more fun and informal than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans structure with a deliberately weathered surface, capturing the look of stamped ink or worn signage while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable.
The distressing appears consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive texture at display sizes. Because the rough edges add visual noise, it benefits from generous tracking and clear contrast against the background, especially in longer lines.
