A heavy, rounded sans with blunt terminals and simplified, friendly shapes. The letterforms show a consistent distressed texture—small nicks, speckling, and uneven edges that resemble worn ink or rough printing—while keeping overall outlines clear and stable. Counters are generally open and circular, with a compact, sturdy build and slightly irregular curve tension that adds a handmade rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same soft geometry and worn surface treatment for a cohesive, print-like look.
Well-suited to short-form display work such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also fits casual branding, café/market signage, and editorial callouts that want a friendly, retro-printed presence rather than a pristine finish.
The distressed finish and rounded construction give the font a warm, approachable character with a nostalgic, craft-printed feel. It reads as informal and personable rather than technical, with a lighthearted, slightly rugged tone that suggests authenticity and everyday utility.
The design appears intended to combine a bold, rounded sans foundation with a deliberately worn surface, creating the impression of ink gain, aging, or imperfect printing. The goal is to deliver an approachable display voice that feels tactile and human while remaining broadly readable.
Texture remains visible at display sizes and may soften fine details at smaller sizes, where the speckling can visually darken strokes. The overall spacing and silhouettes stay legible, but the worn edges are a primary stylistic feature that benefits from sufficient size and contrast against the background.
