A heavy, rounded sans with irregular, distressed contours that create a worn, inked-in look. Strokes are broadly uniform but the edges wobble and chip, producing a printed-by-hand texture rather than crisp geometry. Counters are generally open and simple, with slightly soft corners and occasional nicks that vary from letter to letter. The set maintains a consistent overall weight while allowing subtle width and shape variation that keeps the rhythm lively.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also works well for branding elements, stickers, and merchandise graphics that benefit from a handmade, printed feel. For extended reading, larger sizes and generous spacing will help preserve legibility.
The font feels scrappy and energetic, with a casual toughness that suggests street posters, DIY printing, or weathered signage. Its roughness reads as intentional and expressive, giving friendly shapes a gritty, analog attitude.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable sans silhouette while adding distress to evoke imperfect ink, wear, and DIY production. The aim appears to be personality and texture over precision, creating an instantly tactile, analog impression.
In longer text the texture becomes a prominent feature, as distressed edges add visual noise that can reduce clarity at small sizes. The numerals share the same rugged treatment and rounded construction, matching the alphabet well for display settings.
