A heavy, chunky sans with broadly rounded forms and visibly irregular, roughened contours. Strokes keep an overall even thickness, but the edges wobble and chip in a consistent way that reads like ink spread, dry-brush, or distressed stamping. Counters are compact and somewhat uneven, apertures tend to be tight, and curves are soft rather than geometric-sharp, giving the alphabet a bouncy, handmade rhythm. Spacing feels sturdy and poster-like, with strong silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes.
This face performs best in display contexts where texture and weight are assets—posters, splashy headlines, packaging, labels, and brand marks that want a handmade or rugged feel. It can also work for short, high-impact copy in social graphics or merch, but the tight counters and rough edges make it less suited to long passages at small sizes.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a scrappy, DIY energy. Its textured finish adds a casual, imperfect character that feels lively and a bit mischievous rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans foundation while introducing a deliberately distressed, hand-printed surface. It prioritizes impact and personality over precision, aiming for an organic, tactile impression that feels printed or stamped.
The distressed outline treatment is prominent across both uppercase and lowercase, creating a cohesive worn print effect. The numerals match the same chunky construction and rough perimeter, supporting cohesive use in headlines and short callouts.
