A chunky, rounded display face with heavy, compact strokes and softly squared corners. The letterforms lean toward a friendly, bulbous sans structure, with uneven contours and pitted interior texture that reads like worn ink or stamped print. Counters are generally small and simplified, and terminals are blunt, giving the alphabet a dense, poster-ready silhouette. Widths and shapes vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, handmade rhythm while staying consistently legible.
Works best at medium to large sizes where the texture and chunky shapes can be appreciated—posters, product packaging, labels, event graphics, and bold brand marks. It’s also well suited to apparel and sticker-style designs where a rugged, printed feel is desirable.
The overall tone feels bold and approachable with a worn, tactile grit—suggesting vintage printing, rubber stamps, or screen-printed merch. Its texture adds attitude without becoming chaotic, making it feel lively, playful, and a bit rowdy.
Designed to deliver high-impact display typography with a deliberately worn surface, combining a friendly rounded skeleton with a distressed print texture. The intent appears to be instant visual character—suggesting handmade production and vintage, tactile authenticity while remaining readable in short bursts of text.
The distressed pattern appears as scattered speckling and small voids within the strokes, plus subtly irregular outer edges. The uppercase set reads especially blocky and compact, while the lowercase keeps the same weight and rounding for a cohesive, friendly voice. Numerals match the sturdy, simplified construction for consistent impact in headlines.
