A heavy, rounded sans with simplified, chunky forms and slightly uneven widths that create an informal rhythm. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with soft corners and occasional quirky angles, giving the lettershapes a friendly but rugged silhouette. A consistent speckled, eroded texture appears inside the glyphs, like worn ink or pitted print, while counters remain generally open and readable. The overall spacing feels loose and casual, reinforcing the handmade, poster-like character.
Best suited to display applications where texture and personality are desired: posters, headlines, product packaging, stickers, and apparel or merchandise graphics. It can work for short blurbs or playful editorial callouts, but the interior speckling suggests using larger sizes to preserve clarity.
The font reads as playful and approachable, but with a gritty, weathered edge. Its speckled distressing and slightly irregular shapes evoke a retro, screen-printed or stamped feel—fun, bold, and a bit rough around the edges.
Likely designed to deliver a friendly, chunky display voice with built-in wear—capturing the look of imperfect printing or aged ink while keeping the shapes legible and bold in silhouette.
The distressing is integrated as interior flecks and voids rather than heavy outline breakup, so the letter silhouettes stay strong at display sizes. The character set shown maintains consistent texture density across caps, lowercase, and numerals, which helps it feel cohesive in longer lines of text.
