A compact sans with heavy strokes and an intentionally rough, inked edge. The letterforms are simple and mostly monolinear in construction, but the outlines show consistent texture and slight wobble, creating a stamped or dry-brush effect. Counters are moderately open and shapes lean toward rounded geometry, while terminals appear blunt and irregular, giving the set a handmade rhythm. Spacing feels steady in running text, with small variations in width and contour that add a natural, imperfect cadence.
This font works best where texture and personality are desirable: posters, headlines, packaging, stickers, and merchandise graphics. It can also add a handcrafted accent to branding elements such as logos, badges, and short callouts, particularly at display sizes where the rough edges are clearly visible.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a gritty, DIY character that suggests printed ephemera or hand-painted signage. Its rough texture adds energy and approachability, reading as playful and slightly rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-inked feel within a clean sans framework, combining straightforward letter skeletons with a consistent distressed texture. It prioritizes character and tactile presence while keeping forms recognizable for short, impactful text.
Uppercase forms stay straightforward and sturdy, while lowercase includes friendly single-storey shapes and rounded bowls that keep text readable despite the distressed edges. Numerals share the same textured weight and maintain clear silhouettes, reinforcing the cohesive, ink-worn look.
