A heavy, rounded sans with blunt terminals and subtly uneven contours, giving the letterforms a hand-printed feel. Strokes are thick and simplified, with generous curves and soft corners that keep counters open and legible at display sizes. A consistent distressed texture appears as small specks and nicks within the fills and along edges, suggesting worn ink or rough printing. Overall spacing feels sturdy and headline-oriented, with straightforward, upright construction and clear differentiation between characters.
Best suited to display applications where texture can be appreciated: posters, titles, logos, product packaging, labels, and merch graphics. It can also work for short callouts or pull quotes where a bold, approachable voice is needed, especially in retro, craft, or street-inspired visual systems.
The font conveys an informal, slightly gritty energy—like bold signage printed on textured paper or stamped packaging. Its rounded shapes keep it friendly, while the worn texture adds a tactile, lived-in attitude that reads as vintage and craft-oriented rather than pristine or corporate.
The design appears intended to combine a friendly, rounded display sans with a controlled distressed finish, creating impact without sacrificing readability. It aims to look printed, worn, and tactile—delivering a ready-made, authentic texture for attention-grabbing type.
The distressing is relatively fine-grained and evenly distributed, so the silhouette remains strong while the interior speckling supplies character. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, rounded rhythm, supporting emphatic, poster-like settings.
