A chunky, heavy display face built from blunt, block-like forms with deliberately rough, chipped edges. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with corners that look nicked and irregular, creating a cut-paper or distressed stamp impression. Counters are small and occasionally angular, and spacing is loose and inconsistent by design, giving the text an energetic, handmade rhythm. The lowercase follows the same rugged geometry, with simplified construction and occasional quirky terminals that emphasize the uneven silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like posters, punchy headlines, title cards, album covers, or game and comic-style graphics where the distressed edges can be appreciated. It can also work for badges, stickers, and packaging callouts that benefit from a rough, handmade voice.
The overall tone is noisy and mischievous, combining a tough, gritty texture with a lighthearted, cartoon energy. It reads as intentionally imperfect and slightly chaotic, suggesting DIY posters, oddball humor, or a playful “rough around the edges” attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold novelty display with a purposefully distressed, irregular finish—more about character and attitude than typographic neutrality. Its construction prioritizes a rugged silhouette and playful disruption of uniformity to create immediate visual personality.
At larger sizes the texture becomes a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the chipped contours and tight counters can start to fill in and reduce clarity. The most distinctive character comes from the irregular outlines and the lively, uneven spacing rather than from fine detail.
