A heavy, rounded sans with blunt terminals and broad, compact lettershapes. Curves are built from generous arcs and oval counters, while straight strokes stay sturdy and uniform, giving the face a dense, blocky color in text. A consistent distressed texture cuts into strokes and counters with irregular chips and scuffs, creating a worn print effect while preserving clear silhouettes.
Best suited to posters, big headlines, logos, and brand marks that benefit from a tough, textured voice. It also works well on packaging and apparel graphics where the distressed finish can reinforce a vintage or utilitarian feel; it’s less appropriate for long-form text where the heavy weight and texture can reduce clarity.
The overall tone feels bold and gritty, like lettering pulled from workwear graphics, stamped packaging, or weathered signage. The distressing adds a raw, tactile character that reads as handmade or mechanically printed rather than pristine and digital.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly rounded skeleton, then roughen it with controlled distressing to suggest age, wear, and physical printing. The goal seems to be an attention-grabbing display sans that feels tactile and imperfect while remaining broadly legible.
In display sizes the worn details become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the texture collapses into a darker, more solid mass. Numerals share the same stout proportions and rounded geometry, keeping headings and short statements visually cohesive.
