A sturdy, wide sans with softened geometry and intentionally roughened contours. Strokes are relatively even but show subtle wobble, flat spots, and worn-looking edges that mimic ink spread or distressed printing. Counters are open and legible, with rounded joins and slightly irregular curves that give the letterforms a tactile, stamped feel. Spacing appears generous and the overall rhythm is lively, with small variations in width and stroke edges adding texture without collapsing readability.
Best suited to display applications where the rough texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics. It also works well for badges, social graphics, and short editorial callouts that benefit from a handcrafted, printed feel.
The texture and imperfect outlines convey a casual, human tone—somewhere between screen-printed poster type and hand-cut signage. It reads as friendly and approachable, while the distressed surface adds grit and a lightly retro, workshop-made attitude.
The design appears intended to blend simple, sturdy sans forms with a controlled distressed overlay, producing a dependable silhouette with added tactile personality. It aims to evoke imperfect print processes and handmade construction while keeping forms clear and broadly usable for bold messaging.
The sample text shows the distress staying consistent across sizes, adding character in display settings while remaining readable in short passages. Numerals share the same rounded, worn construction, supporting cohesive headline and badge-style composition.
