A heavy, rounded display face with hand-cut, inked-in silhouettes and irregular contours. Strokes are thick and compact with softly squared corners, uneven terminals, and occasional nicks and bite-marks that create a worn, stamped feel. Counters tend to be small and simplified, with slightly wobbly curves and inconsistent edge texture across letters that reinforces the analog, imperfect construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and product packaging where a gritty handmade voice is desired. It also works well for stickers, merch graphics, and album/cover art, especially when paired with simple supporting type for longer text.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, combining a friendly, cartoon-like softness with gritty, distressed texture. It reads as casual and expressive rather than formal, evoking screen-printed posters, DIY zines, and rough signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing display style that feels handcrafted and imperfect, with deliberate distressing to mimic rough printing or worn paint. The goal is a strong silhouette with an approachable, playful rhythm while retaining an edgy, textured character.
The texture is not purely outline roughness—some glyphs show interior speckling and patchy fill that suggests ink gain, erosion, or sponge/brush application. Letterforms remain broadly legible, but the dense weight and distressed edges can reduce clarity at small sizes or in long paragraphs.
