A heavy, rounded sans with broad strokes and softly squared curves that give the letters a chunky, cutout-like silhouette. Edges show deliberate roughness and irregular “ink” wear, producing small nicks, gaps, and texture within counters and along outer contours. Proportions are slightly uneven across glyphs, with a lively rhythm and subtle width variation that reads as hand-drawn rather than mechanically uniform. Counters are generally open and simple, keeping the forms legible despite the distressed surface.
Best suited to display use such as posters, event flyers, packaging, labels, stickers, and apparel graphics where the roughened texture can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text—taglines, callouts, and menu headers—when you want a casual, crafted voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a DIY, screen-printed feel. The worn texture adds grit and authenticity while the rounded construction keeps it friendly and non-threatening, suggesting informal, crafty, or indie contexts rather than corporate polish.
The design appears intended to combine sturdy, rounded sans forms with a purposeful distressed treatment to evoke printed ephemera and hand-inked signage. The goal seems to be high-impact readability paired with a tactile, imperfect finish that feels human and expressive.
In text settings, the distressed detailing becomes more apparent at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes it can visually thicken and close up interior wear marks. The uppercase carries strong headline presence; the lowercase maintains a compact, bouncy texture that reinforces the handmade character.
