A compact, heavy sans with blunt terminals and rounded corners, rendered with a deliberately rough, inked edge. Strokes stay consistently thick while the contours show small irregularities and slight wobble, creating a stamped/printed texture rather than a clean geometric finish. Counters are generally open but tightened by the weight, and the overall construction reads as simplified, blocky forms with soft curves. Spacing and widths vary subtly across letters, adding an organic rhythm while remaining highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster titles, packaging labels, and bold branding marks where the rough edge can be appreciated. It also works well for signage-style graphics and merch designs that benefit from a stamped or screen-printed feel; for long body text, the dense texture may become visually heavy.
The texture and chunky silhouettes give a bold, workmanlike tone with a casual, handmade edge. It feels like signage ink, rubber-stamp lettering, or rough screen print—confident and attention-grabbing, with a friendly roughness rather than a sleek, corporate voice.
The design appears intended to combine straightforward sans construction with a tactile, imperfect print surface—delivering strong readability while adding character through roughened outlines and slightly irregular proportions.
The distressed perimeter is consistent across the set, suggesting a controlled “worn” effect instead of random damage. Uppercase forms are especially strong for headlines, while lowercase retains the same sturdy, compact personality and keeps the overall color dense on the line.
