A heavy, blocky sans with rounded, slightly squarish counters and softened corners. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear in feel, but the outlines show intentional irregularity—ragged edges, small dents, and uneven terminals that mimic stamped or brush-inked letterforms. The proportions are compact with a tall x-height and sturdy verticals, while widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, giving the set a lively, less-mechanical rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same dense, cutout-like silhouettes, prioritizing bold shape over fine detail.
Best suited to display settings where impact and texture matter—posters, headline systems, packaging, badges, and promotional graphics. It can work well for short bursts of text in branding or social graphics, especially when a handcrafted, stamped look is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text.
The overall tone is bold and informal, with a gritty handmade texture that reads as craft, DIY, and slightly vintage. It feels energetic and friendly rather than precise, evoking printed posters, stencils, or ink impressions where the edges break up under pressure.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture—combining simple rounded sans forms with roughened outlines to feel tactile and hand-made while staying highly legible in display use.
At larger sizes the distressed contour becomes a defining feature; at smaller sizes those rough edges can visually thicken joins and reduce interior clarity. The font’s strength is its strong silhouettes and consistent weight, with texture providing character more than contrast.
