A heavy, rounded sans with chunky proportions and softened corners, marked by visibly roughened edges and occasional interior nicks that mimic worn ink or imperfect printing. Strokes stay broadly consistent but show subtle waviness and irregular terminals, creating an organic rhythm across words. Counters are open and mostly simple, with a slightly uneven, hand-drawn feel in curves and joins; numerals share the same blunt, textured construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the rugged edge texture can be appreciated: posters, event graphics, product packaging, apparel, stickers, and playful branding. It can also work for attention-grabbing subheads or pull quotes when you want a casual, handcrafted look.
The overall tone is casual and energetic, with a homemade, slightly messy charm that reads as approachable rather than formal. Its rough texture adds a tactile, analog flavor that suggests screen-printed posters, marker lettering, or stamped packaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans foundation with deliberate imperfections, evoking analog printing and hand-rendered signage. Its goal is to add personality and texture quickly, providing an expressive headline voice that feels crafted rather than clinical.
The texture is present even at display sizes, where the edge wear becomes a defining feature; in longer lines it contributes character while keeping letterforms broadly recognizable. The silhouette remains bold and simple, so the distressed detail reads as surface treatment rather than complex form.
