A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and a friendly, blocky build. Strokes are thick and unevenly textured, with worn interiors and chipped edges that mimic dry ink or distressed printing. Curves are broad and slightly irregular, terminals are blunt, and counters tend to be small, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready presence. The overall rhythm is steady, but the surface distress and subtle shape variation keep it from feeling mechanical.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, badges, labels, and brand marks that want a rugged, craft-forward look. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or social graphics, especially at larger sizes where the distress remains legible.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a rough, tactile energy that suggests vintage print, DIY signage, and well-worn packaging. Its imperfections read as intentional and expressive, adding grit without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to combine a friendly, rounded display skeleton with a deliberately worn print texture, capturing the feel of stamped or aged lettering while staying bold and readable for attention-grabbing applications.
Distress is distributed across both straight and curved strokes, creating a consistent “printed and weathered” texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Round glyphs (like O/0) show noticeable speckling in the bowls, while verticals retain a slightly mottled edge that enhances the handmade feel.
