A heavy, compact sans with softly rounded corners and visibly irregular stroke edges, giving a stamped or ink-pressed look. Letterforms are built from simple blocky shapes with generous internal counters where applicable, but the outlines wobble and chip slightly, creating a rough texture across the set. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S feel squarish-rounded rather than purely geometric, and joins can appear pinched or swollen, reinforcing the handmade impression. Figures are sturdy and simplified, with consistent weight and a deliberately imperfect silhouette that stays readable at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, badges, labels, and packaging where texture and impact matter. It can also work for short UI or social graphics when a handmade, gritty tone is desired, but is less ideal for long reading in small sizes due to the roughened edges and heavy color.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a gritty, tactile character—like lettering printed with worn type or a rough stencil without sharp cut-ins. It balances ruggedness with a friendly, slightly cartoonish softness from the rounded forms, making it feel energetic rather than harsh. The texture adds an informal, DIY attitude that reads as vintage-industrial and street-level.
The design appears intended to mimic worn, inked display lettering—combining bold, rounded sans structures with a distressed outline to add personality and physicality. It aims for instant attention and a tactile print feel while maintaining straightforward, legible letter shapes.
Spacing and widths feel uneven by design, producing a lively rhythm in longer text. The distressing is subtle enough to keep counters open, but it will become more prominent as size increases and may fill in at very small sizes or on low-resolution outputs.
