A heavy, rounded sans with softened corners and subtly uneven outlines that suggest printed ink wear. Strokes are thick and generally monolinear, but edges show gentle wobble and small nicks, creating a textured silhouette. Counters are open and simple, with slightly irregular interior shapes that reinforce the rough-printed feel. Overall spacing and widths vary a bit from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, hand-set rhythm while remaining clear at display sizes.
Well-suited for bold headlines and short blocks of copy where texture can be part of the message, such as posters, product packaging, stickers, and merch graphics. It can also work for playful branding elements and social graphics that benefit from a hand-printed, tactile look. For longer reading, it will likely perform best at larger sizes where the distressed edges stay crisp.
The font reads as warm and approachable, with a playful, handmade character tempered by a rugged, distressed finish. Its irregular texture adds a vintage, DIY tone, like a well-used rubber stamp or screen print. The overall impression is informal and energetic rather than precise or corporate.
The design appears intended to combine a simple, rounded display sans structure with a deliberately worn, inked surface. It aims to feel hand-made and imperfect in a controlled way, giving designers an easy path to an authentic, printed texture without losing basic legibility.
Round forms like O and Q appear sturdy with generous counters, and the lowercase shows a casual, slightly bouncy baseline feel. The distressed detailing is consistent enough to feel intentional, adding grit without turning the letterforms into noise in the provided samples.
