A chunky, rounded display face with heavy strokes and visibly irregular contours. Edges appear worn and ink-bitten, with blotchy interior voids and small breaks that mimic rough printing or distressed paint. Letterforms are simple and upright with soft corners and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm; widths and counters vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, hand-rendered feel. The texture stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, keeping the overall color dense while adding speckled variation in the black areas.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where the rough texture can be appreciated—posters, event flyers, album/cover art, packaging accents, stickers, and merch graphics. It can also work for expressive pull quotes or section headers, but the distressed detailing favors display sizes over long-form reading.
The overall tone is gritty and mischievous, mixing a friendly, cartoon-like softness with a raw, scuffed texture. It suggests DIY culture and imperfect, tactile mark-making—more street-poster than polished branding.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate, tactile character: a bold, rounded silhouette combined with intentional wear and ink breakup to evoke handmade printing, scuffed signage, or DIY lettering.
The distressed texture is present inside strokes as well as along outer contours, so small sizes may fill in or lose detail while larger sizes emphasize the speckling. Caps read especially bold and graphic, while the lowercase adds a casual, hand-lettered cadence.
