A rough, hand-rendered sans with monoline strokes and noticeably irregular, blunted terminals. The contours look dry-brushed or worn, producing a consistent edge texture across straight stems and curved bowls. Proportions are simple and workmanlike, with open counters and slightly bouncy letterfit that varies from glyph to glyph, giving lines a natural, uneven rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same sturdy, textured construction, maintaining legibility despite the distressed perimeter.
Well-suited to headlines and display settings where texture and personality are desired, such as posters, product packaging, labels, and promotional graphics. It can also work for short blocks of text when a handcrafted, rough-printed look is appropriate and ample size/spacing is available.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a gritty, tactile feel that suggests hand-made signage or ink-stamped lettering. It reads as approachable and slightly rebellious rather than polished, adding character and immediacy to short messages.
Likely designed to mimic imperfect, real-world lettering—like marker, brush, or worn print—while staying straightforward in structure for clear reading. The goal appears to be adding a tactile, distressed voice without relying on extreme distortion.
The distressing is integrated into the letter shapes rather than applied as random noise, so the texture repeats predictably and remains readable at text sizes. Curves stay fairly geometric, while the edge wear and mild wobble provide the expressive character.
