A chunky, rounded sans with heavy strokes and simplified, geometric construction. Terminals and corners are softly squared, giving the letters a friendly blocky silhouette, while counters are generally open and clean. A consistent speckled, worn texture appears throughout the letterforms, creating the look of scuffed ink or rough print. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and compact, while lowercase remains similarly stout with straightforward bowls and short, solid stems.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the texture can contribute to the message—posters, product packaging, labels, café menus, event promotions, and apparel graphics. It also works well for playful branding that wants an aged or hand-printed vibe, especially at larger sizes where the distress detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable but intentionally roughened, combining a playful display feel with a gritty, hands-on edge. The distressed texture suggests analog production—screen print, stamped ink, or worn signage—adding personality and informality. It reads loud and lively, with an easygoing retro craft sensibility.
Likely designed to deliver a friendly, heavy display voice while adding instant character through a built-in worn print texture. The shapes prioritize clear, simple silhouettes and energetic presence, with distressing used to evoke analog production and a casual, handmade atmosphere.
The distressed effect is built into the glyphs rather than appearing as separate shading, so the texture remains visible even in large headline settings. The rough speckling is fairly uniform across characters, helping maintain consistency while still feeling imperfect and tactile.
