A heavy, rounded display face with compact counters and irregular, torn-looking edges that mimic saturated ink or rough printing. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with blunted terminals and lumpy curves that vary subtly from glyph to glyph. The silhouette is consistently bold and dark, while interior shapes stay small and often slightly off-round, creating a dense texture in text. Spacing feels fairly even, but the ragged contours introduce a lively, uneven rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to display sizes where the rough outline and dense color can be appreciated—posters, album/cover art, merchandise graphics, packaging, and bold social media headlines. It also works well for short thematic pull quotes or branding accents where a gritty, handmade texture is desirable.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, balancing a friendly, cartoon-like softness with a distressed, worn surface. It reads as rebellious and DIY, with a tactile, handmade feel that suggests posters, zines, and rough-stamped graphics rather than refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with an intentionally imperfect edge, evoking worn ink, torn paper, or distressed stamping. It prioritizes character and texture over pristine letterforms, aiming for immediate attention and a DIY, street-graphic sensibility.
Uppercase forms are simple and blocky with softened geometry, while lowercase keeps the same thick, blobby construction for a cohesive voice. Numerals follow the same distressed contouring, staying highly visible and weighty, which helps maintain impact in headlines and short bursts of copy.
