A heavy, compact sans with rounded geometry and softened corners, built from broad strokes and simple, sturdy shapes. Curves are generously rounded and counters stay fairly open, giving the face good presence at display sizes. The outlines show intentional roughness: slightly uneven edges and occasional nicks or texture along the strokes, producing a printed or stamped impression rather than a perfectly clean digital contour. Proportions lean practical and straightforward, with a steady baseline rhythm and minimal ornamentation.
Best suited to posters, titles, branding marks, packaging, and signage where a strong silhouette is desired. It also works for short paragraphs or punchy editorial callouts when the distressed texture is part of the intended voice, but it will feel most at home in larger sizes and high-contrast applications.
The overall tone is blunt and confident, with an industrial, workmanlike character. The subtle distressing adds a tactile, analog feel—suggesting ink, rubber stamp, or worn signage—while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. It reads as retro-influenced and utilitarian, suited to designs that want heft with a human, imperfect finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, no-nonsense sans with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture—combining simple rounded forms with a worn finish to evoke physical materials and vintage production methods.
Spacing appears comfortable and the letterforms remain legible even with the textured edges, though the roughness becomes more noticeable in smaller text. Numerals and caps match the same sturdy, rounded construction, keeping the set visually consistent for headlines and short blocks of copy.
