A chunky, rounded sans with compact proportions and heavily textured edges that mimic uneven ink coverage. Strokes are weighty with slight modulation and frequent nicks, gaps, and speckling that create a worn print feel. Letterforms are simple and sturdy, with wide counters and softened corners; curves are slightly irregular and terminals often look blunted or pressed. Overall spacing reads open and readable, while the texture introduces lively variance from glyph to glyph.
Best suited for display settings where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and merch/apparel graphics. It also works well for short brand phrases, event promos, and social graphics that benefit from a tactile, printed look; for longer text, using larger sizes helps preserve the distressed detail.
The font conveys an approachable, handmade energy—like inked type pulled from a rubber stamp or rough screen print. Its imperfections feel intentional and friendly, lending a nostalgic, craft-forward tone that can be humorous or rustic depending on setting.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, friendly sans silhouette while baking in a convincingly imperfect print texture. The goal appears to be quick visual character—evoking stamped or worn lettering—without sacrificing basic legibility in typical display applications.
The distressing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with visible edge chatter and interior speckle that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm, and the numerals match the same rounded, worn construction for cohesive display use.
