A chunky, rounded display face with softly inflated strokes and visibly irregular edges. The letterforms feel hand-drawn, with uneven stroke boundaries, occasional surface pitting, and subtle wobble that suggests rough inking or distressed printing. Counters are compact and sometimes asymmetrical, with terminals that end in blunt, rounded tips. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are assets: posters, packaging callouts, stickers, merch graphics, social headers, and playful branding. It works particularly well for short headlines, names, and punchy taglines where the distressed edge can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is friendly and mischievous, balancing cute, bubble-like shapes with a worn, gritty texture. It reads as informal and handcrafted, evoking DIY posters, stamped lettering, or rough marker work. The distressed details add a tactile, street-level energy without turning overtly aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, cartoonish silhouette while preserving the authenticity of imperfect, analog texture. Its irregular contours and speckled interior details prioritize character and tactility over pristine uniformity, making it ideal for themed or DIY-forward visual identities.
In longer lines the texture becomes a prominent part of the color, giving paragraphs a speckled, inked-in appearance. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same soft geometry and roughened finish, keeping the set visually consistent and suited to short, attention-grabbing strings.
