A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact, sturdy build. Strokes are consistently thick with softly curved joins and blunt terminals, giving the letterforms a friendly, approachable silhouette. A speckled, worn texture is cut into the black shapes, creating a printed, weathered look while preserving clear counters and legible forms across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where the distressed texture can be appreciated: posters, event graphics, packaging, labels, badges, and bold branding moments. It can also add character to short blocks of text in ads or social graphics, especially when you want a handmade, worn-in feel.
The overall tone feels casual and tactile—like ink pressed onto rough paper or a well-used stamp. It reads energetic and approachable rather than formal, with a retro, street-level character that adds grit without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to combine a friendly, rounded geometric base with an intentionally aged surface treatment, delivering instant character and a tactile, analog impression. It prioritizes bold readability and personality for attention-grabbing applications.
Spacing appears generous enough for display settings, and the texture remains visible even in smaller shapes like the period and interior counters. Numerals share the same rounded, sturdy construction, helping mixed text (letters and numbers) feel cohesive in headlines and badges.
