A heavy, rounded sans with chunky silhouettes and noticeably distressed edges. Strokes are broadly consistent but deliberately irregular, with wobbly outlines, small nicks, and flattened terminals that create a stamped/ink-rolled feel. Counters are generally open and circular, while joins and corners lean soft rather than sharp, giving the face a bouncy rhythm in text. The overall color is dense and dark, with texture showing most clearly along vertical stems and at the tops of curves.
Best suited to display use: posters, event graphics, album art, packaging, stickers, and merchandise where a rugged, hand-made look is desirable. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes, section headers) when you want strong impact and a tactile, printed texture.
The font communicates an informal, energetic tone—somewhere between DIY printmaking and worn poster lettering. Its roughness adds attitude and grit, while the rounded construction keeps it friendly and approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a worn, analog surface—evoking rubber-stamp impressions, screen-printed ink, or weathered signage—while keeping letterforms simple and rounded for quick recognition.
At larger sizes the distressed perimeter becomes a defining feature and adds character; at smaller sizes the texture may visually fill in some counters, especially in tighter letters like a/e/s and numerals such as 8/9. Uppercase forms read as bold headline shapes, while the lowercase maintains the same chunky build for cohesive mixed-case settings.
