A heavy, rounded sans with blocky proportions and compact counters. Letterforms are built from simple geometric curves and straight cuts, producing sturdy silhouettes and a consistent, poster-like rhythm. A distinctive distressed texture appears as small chips and voids within the strokes, giving the shapes a worn, printed feel while keeping edges mostly clean and upright. Numerals match the bold, simplified construction and read as solid, high-impact forms.
Best suited to display work where texture and mass can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, event graphics, and apparel. It performs especially well in short phrases and large type where the distressed details read as intentional print character.
The overall tone is loud and gritty, balancing friendliness from the rounded shapes with an urban, worn-in attitude from the distressing. It feels energetic and informal, like ink-stamped packaging or street graphics rather than polished corporate typography.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded base and a deliberately worn surface, evoking stamped or screen-printed production. Its construction prioritizes bold silhouettes and immediate presence, with distressing used to add personality and a tactile, analog feel.
The distress pattern varies across glyphs, adding visual noise that enhances character at large sizes but can reduce interior clarity in tight settings. The design relies on broad shapes and clear massing, making spacing and texture the dominant visual features.
