A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and a slightly uneven, hand-rendered silhouette. Strokes appear blunt and pressureless, with subtly wobbly verticals and horizontals and a dry-brush/inked edge that breaks the outline in small bites and flats. Curves are broadly circular and simplified, while joins and terminals stay thick and squared-off, producing sturdy, blocky letterforms. Spacing and widths feel loosely regular rather than strictly mechanical, reinforcing an organic rhythm in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its bold mass and textured edge can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, stickers, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for playful branding or event materials where an imperfect, handmade feel is desired, but the distressed outlines suggest avoiding very small sizes where the texture may close up.
The texture and softened geometry give the face a friendly but scrappy attitude—casual, tactile, and a bit punk-zine. It reads as approachable and fun while still feeling tough and emphatic, like stamped paint or a marker that’s running dry.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with an intentionally imperfect, analog finish. By combining simplified rounded construction with roughened edges, it aims to feel hand-printed and energetic rather than pristine or corporate.
Capitals are compact and punchy with minimal internal detail, and the numerals match the same chunky, distressed treatment for a cohesive display set. The rough perimeter is consistent across letters, helping the font keep its character in longer lines while still forming a strong, dark typographic color.
