A chunky, rounded sans with an intentionally rough, worn surface. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, but the edges show consistent abrasion and slight wobble that mimics stamped ink or dry-brush lettering. Counters are open and simple, with friendly, inflated shapes (notably in O/C/G), while joins and terminals often end in blunt, irregular cuts. Overall spacing feels slightly loose and the letterforms vary subtly in width, reinforcing an improvised, hand-produced rhythm.
Best suited to display roles where texture is an asset—posters, event titles, product packaging, labels, and merch graphics. It also works well for branded short phrases, signage, and social graphics that aim for a handcrafted or vintage-printed feel rather than a clean, neutral read.
The texture and uneven contours give the font a tactile, homemade character—more craft-table than corporate. It reads as casual and approachable, with a lightly gritty edge that suggests vintage printing, DIY signage, or playful horror/camp when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with built-in distressing, as if printed from a worn stamp or painted with a rough brush. The goal is to provide instant character and tactility without needing additional texture effects.
In the sample text, the distressed perimeter remains visible at paragraph sizes, creating a lively “inked” color on the line. The numeral set matches the same chunky construction and roughened finish, keeping the overall voice consistent across letters and figures.
