A heavy, compact sans with rounded outer forms and blunt terminals, rendered as solid, inky shapes. The outlines are intentionally imperfect, with subtle dents, nicks, and uneven interior counters that create a worn, printed texture rather than clean geometry. Curves (C, O, S) feel soft and inflated, while diagonals and joins (K, V, W, X) remain sturdy and simplified. Spacing and proportions are fairly even, with large counters kept open enough to hold up at display sizes despite the roughened detailing.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, titles, album or event promotion, packaging callouts, and sticker-style graphics where texture is part of the message. It can also work for large, playful branding moments, but the distressed detailing and dense weight make it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and bold, but with a scuffed, DIY edge—like lettering stamped, screen-printed, or roughed up through use. It reads energetic and approachable, trading precision for character and a slightly rebellious, street-poster attitude.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, friendly display voice with built-in texture—capturing the look of imperfect printing or worn signage while keeping letterforms simple, rounded, and highly readable at large sizes.
The distressing is consistent across the set, appearing as minor irregularities along edges and within bowls rather than dramatic breaks, which helps maintain legibility. Numerals share the same chunky, rounded construction, giving mixed text a cohesive, poster-ready rhythm.
