A heavy, rounded display face with soft corners, uneven stroke boundaries, and a deliberately distressed interior texture. Letters are broadly proportioned with a bouncy baseline feel and slightly irregular widths, giving the set a handmade rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. Counters are generally open and simplified, while many glyphs include scattered cutouts and speckling that reads like worn ink or eroded stencil voids. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same chunky mass and textured fill, keeping color dense even at smaller sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, large headings, logos/wordmarks, packaging callouts, and playful event promotions where texture is a feature. It can work for apparel graphics and sticker-style designs, especially when the distressed look supports a handmade or vintage-print aesthetic.
The overall tone is mischievous and informal, mixing cartoon-like softness with a worn, gritty surface. It feels energetic and approachable, with a retro craft/DIY character that suggests imperfect printing and playful signage.
Likely designed to deliver a friendly, chunky display voice with built-in wear and ink texture, evoking imperfect printmaking or aged signage while retaining strong silhouettes for bold headline use.
The distressed pattern is integrated into nearly every glyph, so the texture becomes part of the letterform identity rather than an occasional effect. The bold silhouettes help preserve legibility, but the interior speckling and irregular edges become more prominent as sizes decrease or when used on busy backgrounds.
