A heavy, rounded display face with simplified, hand-drawn letterforms and slightly irregular proportions. Strokes are thick and consistently weighty, with soft corners and uneven edges that mimic worn ink or rough printing; subtle interior speckling and small voids reinforce the textured look. Counters are generally open and generous for the weight, while terminals tend to be blunt and softly tapered rather than sharp. Overall spacing and rhythm feel intentionally loose and organic, with minor variation from glyph to glyph that keeps the texture lively in text.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, stickers, and merchandise graphics where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work for playful branding accents or social media graphics, particularly at medium to large sizes where the distressed detail remains visible.
The font reads as upbeat and approachable, with a tactile, imperfect finish that adds character and a bit of grit. Its rounded forms keep it friendly, while the distressed texture introduces a handcrafted, poster-like attitude that feels informal and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver an instant, handmade feel with a rugged print texture—combining bold, rounded shapes for readability with deliberate imperfections to suggest wear, stamping, or rough-screen printing.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive, simplified construction that favors bold silhouettes over fine detail. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded approach, staying legible while maintaining the worn, inked texture.
