A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and broad, simplified shapes. Strokes are generally uniform in mass but show noticeable internal scuffing and chipped speckle textures that create a worn print effect without breaking the outer silhouette too much. Corners tend to be softly squared, curves are full and steady, and overall spacing reads even and sturdy, supporting clear word shapes at display sizes.
Well-suited to display typography where texture can be appreciated—posters, event graphics, product packaging, labels, and bold branding lockups. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers when a tactile, worn tone is desired, but the speckling may be less effective at very small sizes.
The texture and chunky construction convey a casual, rugged energy—like ink that’s been pressed, rubbed, or aged over time. It feels approachable and lively rather than formal, with a nostalgic, tactile character that suggests posters, packaging, and hands-on craft aesthetics.
The font appears designed to combine a friendly, chunky sans foundation with a deliberate worn-print overlay, delivering a strong silhouette with added grit. The aim is to provide an easy-to-set display face that instantly adds surface character and a vintage-leaning, handmade feel.
The distressed pattern appears consistently across letters and numerals, giving a cohesive “worn” surface while keeping forms legible. The design favors simple geometric construction, which helps the texture read as intentional rather than noisy, especially in short headlines.
