A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and slightly irregular, hand-drawn construction. Strokes are thick with visibly worn interiors and speckled gaps, creating a printed, weathered texture rather than clean fills. Curves are generous and geometry stays simple, while small asymmetries in bowls, terminals, and joins keep the rhythm informal. The lowercase is compact and friendly, with single-storey forms where applicable and a sturdy, poster-like presence across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to short display text where texture is part of the message: posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, stickers, and merch graphics. It can also work for social graphics or event branding where a casual, tactile print look is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels DIY and lived-in—like stamped packaging, screen-printed apparel, or an old poster that’s been handled and reprinted. The distressed texture adds grit, while the rounded shapes keep it approachable and upbeat rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to blend a friendly, rounded display sans with a deliberately worn print texture, delivering impact while suggesting authenticity and analog production. It prioritizes personality and tactile presence over pristine neutrality.
The distressing is consistent across the set, reading as ink erosion or rough printing; at smaller sizes the texture may visually merge, so the face tends to communicate best when given room. Numerals share the same chunky proportions and rounded feel, matching the letters well for display settings.
