A heavy, compact sans with blunt terminals and an intentionally rough, ink-bled edge. Strokes show subtle waviness and uneven pressure, giving each letter a hand-rendered, slightly stamped feel rather than clean geometric construction. Counters are generally open and legible, while curves (O, C, S) and diagonals (V, W, Y, X) carry mild irregularities that create a lively rhythm. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g and a compact, utilitarian build; figures match the same chunky, distressed texture for consistent color in text.
Best suited to display typography where texture is part of the message—posters, flyers, album/cover art, packaging labels, and short punchy headlines. It can also work for brief subheads or pull quotes when you want a rough, analog tone, but the distressed edges may feel busy in long passages or at very small sizes.
The texture and wobble convey a DIY, analog attitude—casual, gritty, and a bit mischievous. It reads like ink on paper or worn signage, making it feel informal and human rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to emulate worn print, marker/brush lettering, or rubber-stamp impressions while staying readable and bold in impact. The goal appears to be an approachable, imperfect texture that adds character and energy to straightforward sans letterforms.
The distressing appears as soft edge erosion and slight fill variation rather than sharp cracks, so the overall silhouette stays strong at display sizes. Spacing and widths vary enough to keep an organic cadence, while maintaining clear letter recognition across the alphabet and numerals.
