A heavy, rounded display face with irregular, roughened contours that mimic worn printing or brushy ink edges. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with soft corners and occasional nicks and notches that create a mottled silhouette. Proportions are slightly variable from glyph to glyph, giving an uneven rhythm; bowls are compact, counters are moderately open, and terminals often end in blunt, splattered-looking tips. The overall texture stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, maintaining legibility while keeping a distressed surface.
Best suited for attention-grabbing headlines and short bursts of text in posters, event flyers, packaging, and merchandise graphics where a rough, handcrafted feel is desired. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or section headers, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for body copy.
The tone is energetic and informal, with a scrappy, DIY character that reads as humorous and a bit rebellious. Its rough texture suggests posters, zines, and screen-printed graphics, adding grit without becoming chaotic or illegible.
Likely designed to provide a bold, highly legible display voice with a built-in distressed texture, simulating worn ink or rough brush lettering. The intent appears to be quick impact and personality for themed or promotional graphics rather than neutral, long-form typography.
The design relies on silhouette and texture more than fine detail, so it reads strongest at medium to large sizes where the distressed edges can be seen clearly. Rounded forms and blunt terminals keep it friendly, while the uneven perimeter adds tension and motion.
