A rough-edged, ink-worn sans with mostly monoline strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are open and simply constructed, with soft corners and a subtly wavy outline that suggests degraded printing or a dry-brush mark. Counters stay readable but show small intrusions and bumps; terminals are blunt and inconsistent, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered texture. Spacing and widths vary slightly across glyphs, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm that still holds together in text.
Best suited to display applications where texture is desirable: posters, album covers, editorial headlines, event flyers, packaging accents, and zine-style layouts. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when a worn, tactile voice is needed, but the roughened edges are most effective at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and analog, evoking photocopies, stamped labels, or aged signage. Its imperfect edges and fluctuating stroke boundaries lend a human, DIY character with a lightly vintage, underground feel.
Likely designed to deliver a clean, approachable sans structure while adding surface damage and print artifacts for instant atmosphere. The aim appears to be readability with character—keeping forms familiar, then layering on distress to create a lived-in, tactile impression.
Uppercase and lowercase share a straightforward, utilitarian skeleton, while the distressed perimeter does most of the stylistic work. Numerals match the same weathered treatment and remain clear at display sizes, where the texture reads as part of the design rather than noise.
