A heavy, rounded sans with blunt terminals and soft corners, built from simple geometric shapes and generous curves. Letterforms show deliberate irregularity: edges look chipped and scuffed, with occasional interior voids and broken spots that mimic worn ink coverage. Counters are generally open and circular (notably in C/O), while straight-sided letters (E/F/T) keep broad bars and a sturdy, blocky presence. Spacing feels slightly uneven in a natural way, reinforcing a hand-made, printed texture rather than a mechanically clean finish.
Best suited to short, bold applications where texture is a feature: posters, display headlines, apparel graphics, album/playlist artwork, packaging labels, and branded stickers. It can work in brief subheads or slogans, but the distressed details will be most effective at larger sizes and with ample contrast against the background.
The overall tone is gritty and tactile, like stamped packaging, screen-printed merch, or type pulled from a distressed sign. Despite the roughness, the rounded construction keeps it friendly and approachable, giving it an energetic, casual character with a streetwise edge.
The design appears intended to combine a robust, rounded display skeleton with a convincingly worn print texture, delivering impact while evoking analog production methods. It prioritizes personality and surface character over neutrality, aiming for an attention-grabbing, handcrafted look.
The distress pattern varies from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm across words and preventing large areas of solid black from feeling flat. Numerals follow the same rounded, chunky construction, and the texture remains consistent in running text, where the worn details become a prominent part of the voice.
