A heavy, chunky sans with simplified, geometric construction and rounded curves. The letterforms are built from broad strokes with large counters and compact joins, producing a dense, poster-friendly color. A consistent distressed treatment is applied throughout—chips, scuffs, and edge wear interrupt the silhouettes and create a rough, printed texture. Overall spacing and proportions feel stable, while the deliberate roughness keeps the rhythm irregular and attention-grabbing.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headline blocks, merchandise graphics, event promotion, and punchy packaging moments where texture is desirable. It can also work for playful display copy in digital or print when set at sizes large enough for the distress details to read clearly.
The texture and exaggerated weight give the font an irreverent, mischievous tone—like a loud headline stamped, worn, and re-inked. It reads as fun and slightly chaotic, balancing friendliness from the rounded shapes with grit from the distressed cuts.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a deliberately imperfect, scuffed finish—suggesting worn print, stamped ink, or distressed lettering—while keeping letterforms simple and readable for attention-first applications.
The distressing is bold enough to remain visible at larger sizes, where the worn edges become a key part of the personality. The figures and caps carry the same chunky mass and chipped texture, supporting cohesive headline settings.
