A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, softly squared proportions and a lively, uneven outline. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, but the perimeter is built from clustered bumps and bite-like nicks that create a speckled, eroded silhouette. Counters are compact and sometimes partially crowded by the texture, giving the letters a dense, stamped look. Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally irregular, with slightly varied glyph widths that reinforce the handmade impression.
Best suited to display use where the textured outline can be appreciated: posters, attention-grabbing headlines, apparel graphics, packaging, labels, and music or event artwork. It can also work for short pull quotes or UI accents when used at larger sizes with generous tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gritty yet friendly—more comic and crafty than aggressive. Its rough edge reads like ink pressed onto a porous surface, suggesting DIY energy, zines, posters, and informal signage. The italic slant adds motion and attitude, keeping the texture from feeling static.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with an intentionally weathered, inky surface—combining chunky, approachable letterforms with a roughened edge to evoke print wear, sponge-ink, or stamped textures.
The texture is prominent at all sizes and becomes the dominant feature in smaller settings, where interior openings can close up visually. The numerals match the same bubbly distressing and maintain a cohesive, chunky presence alongside the caps and lowercase.
