A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and blunt terminals, presented with a consistent roughened texture that suggests worn printing or uneven inking. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, while joins and corners read soft rather than sharp. Strokes stay broadly even with modest modulation, and the distressed edge treatment is applied across the set, including interiors, creating a speckled, imperfect silhouette. Overall spacing and proportions favor sturdy, blocky letterforms that hold their shape at larger sizes.
Best suited to display use where texture can be appreciated: posters, large headlines, apparel graphics, packaging, labels, and signage with a screen-printed or stamped aesthetic. It can work for short bursts of text in promos or titles, but the surface noise and heavy color will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The texture and weight give a tough, workmanlike tone—more screen-printed and gritty than polished or corporate. It feels nostalgic and utilitarian, with a handmade, slightly weathered character that reads as bold and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to combine a bold, rounded sans foundation with a controlled distressed overlay to evoke printed ephemera—ink wear, imperfect transfer, and a slightly vintage production feel—without sacrificing overall readability.
The distressing is subtle-to-moderate and fairly uniform, so the font remains legible while still clearly textured. The rounded construction keeps it friendly despite the rough finish, making it feel more "stamped" than aggressively torn or eroded.
