A heavy, irregular sans with soft, blunted terminals and visibly roughened outlines, as if stamped or printed on coarse paper. Strokes swell and pinch unpredictably, creating a mottled edge texture and slightly lumpy counters that vary from glyph to glyph. Proportions are generally compact with straightforward construction, while spacing and sidebearings feel hand-set, producing an uneven rhythm that reads intentionally imperfect in text.
This style works best where a bold, tactile texture is an asset: posters, album and merch graphics, packaging, and punchy editorial display. It can also add character to short blurbs or pull quotes, though the distressed edges can become busy in long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is gritty and tactile, combining a casual handmade feel with a worn, ink-smeared attitude. It suggests authenticity and informality, with a playful roughness that keeps the texture lively in headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect ink transfer—somewhere between a worn stamp and a thick marker—bringing analog grit to digital type. Its consistent roughness across cases and figures suggests a deliberate focus on texture as the primary personality trait.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase retains the same distressed texture and a friendly, approachable silhouette. Numerals follow the same rough imprint effect, maintaining consistency across the set, and the texture becomes a prominent visual element as sizes increase.
