A textured sans with softly rounded forms and a deliberately irregular outline that mimics ink spread or worn stamping. Strokes stay broadly even in thickness, with blunt, slightly flared terminals and subtly uneven curves that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters are open and fairly generous, and the lowercase shows straightforward, unembellished construction with single‑storey shapes where expected, while overall spacing feels moderate and readable. Numerals follow the same stamped texture, with simple, sturdy silhouettes and consistent weight.
Works well for packaging, labels, menus, posters, and editorial headlines where a tactile, analog feel is desirable. It can also support short-to-medium passages when the goal is characterful readability rather than pristine text color, especially in monochrome or high-contrast layouts.
The font conveys a utilitarian, vintage tone—like a well-used typewriter, rubber stamp, or hand-printed label. Its roughened edges add warmth and tactility, giving text a human, workshop-made character rather than a polished corporate feel.
Likely intended to recreate the look of imperfect mechanical printing—typewriter or stamp-like—while retaining clear, straightforward letterforms. The design prioritizes an authentic, worn texture and friendly rounded geometry to deliver a dependable, craft-oriented voice.
Texture is a defining feature: edges appear intentionally chipped and wavy, producing slight per-letter variation that becomes more visible at larger sizes. In longer text the irregularities read as a consistent ‘printed’ grain, while in display use they add personality and a crafted, analog impression.
