A heavy, rounded sans with chunky silhouettes and irregular, textured edges that read like worn ink or rough stamping. Strokes are blunt-ended with slightly wobbly contours and subtle width fluctuations, giving each letter a hand-made feel while maintaining consistent overall proportions. Counters are generally open and simple, and the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms (notably single-storey-style shapes where applicable) that keep the rhythm dense and bold. Numerals match the letterweight closely, with broad, stable shapes and the same softened, distressed perimeter.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as posters, event titles, packaging fronts, labels, and bold brand marks where the textured edge can be appreciated at size. It can also work for punchy callouts or social graphics, but extended small-size text may lose clarity due to the heavy weight and distressed contours.
The texture and uneven edge behavior create a friendly, rough-and-ready tone—more craft and street-poster than polished corporate. It feels energetic and informal, with a slightly retro, screen-printed grit that adds personality and approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, rounded sans voice with a deliberately imperfect, ink-worn finish—evoking stamping, screen print, or rough letterpress texture while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly legible at display sizes.
The distressed perimeter is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, suggesting a deliberate print-wear effect rather than random noise. In longer text, the strong massing and tight interior spaces push it toward display use, where the texture becomes a defining feature rather than a distraction.
