A chunky, rounded sans with an intentionally irregular, ink-worn texture throughout. Strokes are heavy and dark, with visibly uneven outlines, softened corners, and occasional interior nicks that suggest stamped or brushy printing. Forms are generally simple and geometric-leaning (open C, circular O), but with lively width variation and inconsistent stroke edges that keep the rhythm organic. Counters stay fairly open for the weight, while terminals look blunt and slightly smeared, reinforcing the distressed, hand-made impression.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, event flyers, packaging labels, stickers, and album/merch graphics where texture is a feature. It can also support playful branding touchpoints and social graphics, particularly when paired with cleaner body type.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a mischievous, craft-like grit. It feels like marker lettering or rubber-stamp type that’s been used repeatedly—warm, imperfect, and a bit noisy—making it read as human and expressive rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture a bold, friendly display voice with deliberate wear and ink texture, evoking hand-applied printing or marker-made lettering. The goal appears to be adding personality and tactile grit while keeping letterforms simple and legible at display sizes.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same soft, rounded construction, with the lowercase leaning especially bubbly in shapes like a, e, and g. Numerals are equally stout and casual, matching the texture and rounded skeleton. The distressing is consistent across glyphs, so the set reads as a cohesive “printed imperfectly” system rather than random damage.
