A chunky, low-contrast sans with softly rounded geometry and visibly roughened edges that feel like ink drag, worn type, or imperfect printing. Strokes are generally heavy with small nicks and dents along contours, and counters are broad and open, keeping forms readable despite the distressed texture. Proportions lean compact with a relatively low x-height and sturdy, simplified shapes; terminals are blunt and slightly irregular, producing a lively, uneven rhythm across words.
Works best for display settings such as posters, event promos, merchandise, and packaging where a rough, analog personality is desirable. It can support short UI labels or pull quotes when used large enough for the distressed edges to remain clear without reducing legibility.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, with a casual, slightly mischievous energy. Its distressed texture suggests age, analog production, or DIY craft, balancing toughness with approachable, rounded forms.
Likely designed to deliver an all-caps-friendly, rounded display voice with deliberate print-wear texture, evoking stamped signage or distressed screen print while staying legible and bold in silhouette.
The distressing is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a coherent printed-wear effect rather than random deformation. The texture becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where the edge breakup reads as intentional character.
