A chunky, rounded display face with heavy, softly blunted terminals and an overall hand-drawn, inked silhouette. The letterforms feel slightly irregular in contour and width, with noticeable interior speckling and scuffed counters that read like worn print or distressed fill. Curves are generous and bulbous, joins are simplified, and stroke edges show subtle wobble rather than strict geometry. Spacing appears moderately open for such heavy forms, supporting short text while maintaining a dense, poster-like color.
Best suited to display settings where texture can be appreciated: posters, punchy headlines, product packaging, merchandise graphics, and playful branding. It can work for short-to-medium bursts of copy in larger sizes, but the internal distress and heavy mass make it less ideal for small UI text or dense paragraphs.
The texture and bouncy proportions give it a friendly, mischievous tone—more comic and handcrafted than formal. The distressed detailing adds a lived-in, vintage craft vibe, suggesting screenprint, rubber stamp, or weathered signage energy.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, hand-printed look with deliberate wear—combining soft, rounded letterforms with a consistent distressed texture to evoke vintage craft and playful impact.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent rounded construction, with lowercase forms leaning toward simplified, single-storey shapes. Numerals are similarly bold and soft, designed to match the informal rhythm; the distress pattern is fairly consistent across glyphs, creating a unified printed-wear effect.
