A rounded sans with simplified, geometric letterforms and softly squared terminals, presented with a consistently roughened, ink-worn edge. Strokes are fairly even in thickness but show subtle wobble and broken texture, as if stamped or printed on absorbent paper. Counters are open and generous, and the overall rhythm is steady while retaining small irregularities in curves and joins. Numerals match the same blunt, approachable construction, with a straightforward, legible set shaped by the same distressed surface.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and branding where a warm, imperfect texture adds character. It also fits packaging, labels, and craft-themed collateral, especially when paired with simple layouts that let the rough edge detail read clearly.
The texture and minor irregularities give the face a tactile, handmade tone that feels informal and approachable. It suggests analog printing, craft packaging, or a lightly weathered sign-painting look—friendly rather than aggressive, with a hint of retro charm.
The design appears intended to combine clean, friendly sans proportions with an intentionally worn print finish, delivering an easygoing display voice that feels tactile and human. It aims to stay legible while adding atmosphere through consistent edge distress and slight outline irregularity.
The distressed effect appears integrated into the outlines (not random splatter), producing consistent wear across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Round forms like C, O, and e carry the texture especially clearly, helping the font keep a cohesive “inked” personality at both display sizes and in short text settings.
