A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softened corners, set on mostly simple geometric skeletons. The outlines show deliberate irregularity and wear: edges wobble slightly and counters carry small nicks and speckled voids that mimic rough inking or distressed printing. Spacing feels compact and sturdy, with broad bowls and short, blunt terminals; some characters show subtly uneven widths that reinforce the handmade rhythm.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks where the textured fill can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of copy—taglines, pull quotes, or social graphics—when a casual, handcrafted print vibe is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a screen-printed, craft-like character that reads as approachable rather than polished. The distressing adds a tactile, analog feel—suggesting vintage packaging, DIY signage, or playful branding where personality and texture matter.
Designed to deliver bold, high-impact letterforms with an intentionally imperfect, printed texture. The goal appears to be a dependable, readable display sans that brings analog warmth and character without relying on complex shapes or high contrast details.
The distress pattern is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, staying readable while adding surface noise. Round forms like O/0 and the bowls in b/p/q remain strong and open, while narrow joins and short horizontals can look slightly mottled at smaller sizes due to the intentional wear.
