A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and soft corners, drawn with intentionally uneven edges. Strokes appear brushy/inked with slight waviness and chipping along the silhouette, giving each glyph a stamped, distressed feel. Curves are broadly circular, terminals are blunt, and joins are simplified, creating a sturdy rhythm with subtle per-letter irregularity. Spacing reads generous for the weight, supporting short bursts of text while keeping a dense, poster-like color.
Best suited to display settings where texture and impact are desired: posters, bold headlines, packaging callouts, merch, and event or music promotion graphics. It can work for short passages in large sizes, but the distressed edges and tight counters make it less appropriate for small-size, long-form reading.
The texture and blobby massing project an informal, punchy tone—more handmade than engineered. It feels a bit gritty and mischievous, like ink on rough paper, balancing friendly rounded forms with a roughened, DIY attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a deliberately rough, inked finish—combining rounded sans construction with a worn, analog texture for expressive, attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase shapes are straightforward and blocky, while lowercase forms stay similarly chunky, keeping a consistent voice across cases. Numerals match the same distressed silhouette and weight, maintaining a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
