A heavy, compact sans with chunky, rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners. Strokes are thick with subtly irregular edges that read like ink spread or a lightly distressed cut, giving a tactile, handmade finish. Counters are relatively small and tight, and terminals are blunt, producing a dense silhouette. Curves (O/C/G/S) are broad and simplified, while diagonals (A/V/W/X) feel slightly squeezed and sturdy, maintaining an overall blocky rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, event titles, product packaging, labels, and bold social graphics where the textured, chunky shapes can read clearly. It can also work for signage or merchandise text when set with enough spacing to preserve interior clarity.
The font conveys a bold, down-to-earth personality with a casual, slightly gritty energy. Its roughened texture and compact forms suggest a friendly, DIY attitude—confident and attention-seeking without feeling polished or corporate.
This design appears intended to deliver high-impact, friendly display typography with a deliberately imperfect, printed/handmade surface. The goal is to combine simple sans letterforms with a tactile edge so the type feels approachable, energetic, and visually loud.
In text, the strong color and tight counters make it most effective at larger sizes or with generous tracking and leading. The distressed edge treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping the style hold together in headlines and short statements.
