A heavy, rounded sans with irregular, broken-looking contours that mimic rough printing or brushed ink. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with subtly flattened joins and occasional notches and bumps along stems and curves. Counters are open and generously sized for the weight, while terminals often end bluntly with slight wobble, creating a stamped, imperfect silhouette. Overall spacing feels loose and friendly, with noticeable per-glyph width variation that adds to the handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture is an asset: posters, packaging, labels, album or zine covers, and event flyers. It can also work for playful branding accents or display typography where an intentionally imperfect, printed look helps set the tone.
The font projects a rugged, DIY energy—informal and a bit mischievous—like lettering pulled from worn posters or a hand-inked sign. Its rough edge treatment gives it a tactile, human quality, balancing grit with a cartoon-friendly warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a deliberately worn, handmade finish—prioritizing character and texture over pristine geometry. It aims to feel approachable and energetic while still reading clearly at headline sizes.
Uppercase forms read as compact and blocky, while the lowercase has simple, sturdy construction with minimal stroke modulation and soft corners. Numerals are equally chunky and rounded, maintaining the same distressed texture for consistent color in mixed text.
