A heavy, blunt-ended display face with soft, rounded corners and simplified, geometric letterforms. Strokes are thick and compact, with broad counters and minimal detailing, giving the alphabet a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. Distress appears as scattered chips and worn patches inside the black shapes, plus occasional roughness along edges, creating an uneven ink/print texture while keeping the overall outlines readable. Spacing and widths feel irregular enough to look organic, with a generally stable baseline and upright stance.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture is part of the message: posters, product packaging, bold editorial headlines, event flyers, and brand marks. It can also work well on merchandise or labels where a worn print aesthetic is desired, especially at larger sizes where the distressed details remain clear.
The texture and chunky construction give the font a rugged, screen-printed personality that feels casual and energetic. It reads as retro and handcrafted—like stamped signage or worn packaging—balancing friendliness from the rounded forms with grit from the scuffed interior marks.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a deliberate worn-print effect, evoking analog production methods like stamping, letterpress, or screen printing. The goal is strong silhouette recognition first, with distress layered in for character and atmosphere.
The distress is distributed across most glyphs in a consistent way, so the set feels cohesive rather than randomly damaged. The numerals and caps carry the same heavy mass and worn speckling, which helps maintain a unified tone across headline-style text.
