A sans-serif display face with simple, rounded-rect geometry and lightly softened corners, overlaid with deliberate distressing. Strokes are cleanly constructed but interrupted by speckled voids and worn edges that create a printed/inked texture throughout. Curves are broad and open, counters are generous, and terminals are mostly blunt, giving the design a straightforward skeleton underneath the rough finish. Overall spacing reads even, with a slightly irregular rhythm introduced by the texture and a few playful shape quirks in select letters and numerals.
Best suited for short headlines and display settings where texture can be appreciated—posters, packaging, labels, social graphics, and playful brand marks. It can also work for themed titles and pull quotes when you want an informal, slightly vintage printed feel without sacrificing readability.
The worn, speckled finish and friendly proportions give the font a casual, approachable tone that feels craft-like and a bit mischievous. It suggests a lived-in, analog personality—more fun and expressive than formal—while still staying legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to combine a straightforward sans-serif framework with a deliberately imperfect, distressed surface to inject personality. It aims to evoke an analog, worn-in look—like inked lettering or aged print—while keeping forms simple enough for bold, attention-grabbing display use.
The distressing appears consistent across the set, with small chips, flecks, and scuffed contours that mimic aged signage or imperfect print. The numerals share the same rugged texture and simple construction, helping the overall set feel cohesive despite the intentionally rough surface.
