A heavy, rounded display face with soft, bulbous letterforms and deliberately irregular contours. Strokes look ink-laden and slightly smeared, with frequent nicks, chips, and stray marks that create a distressed, stamped texture along edges and in counters. The geometry leans toward simplified, chunky shapes with lively inconsistencies in curvature and terminal treatment, giving each glyph a handmade, imperfect silhouette while maintaining a consistent overall weight and rhythm. Numerals match the same blobby construction and textured erosion, keeping the set visually cohesive in paragraphs and headlines.
Best suited to short, bold applications where the rough texture and irregular outlines can be appreciated—posters, punchy headlines, packaging, stickers, and attention-grabbing social graphics. It also works well for themed titles in games, events, or merch that wants a playful grunge flavor rather than clean readability.
The font projects a mischievous, offbeat energy—more hand-printed and messy than precise—suggesting humor, spontaneity, and a bit of chaos. Its roughened texture and wobble read as intentionally lo-fi, evoking DIY zines, playful horror/comedy, or slime-and-ink cartoon aesthetics.
Likely designed as an expressive display font that prioritizes personality over polish, combining chunky, friendly shapes with distressed ink artifacts to create an energetic, one-off look. The consistent heaviness across letters, figures, and punctuation suggests it’s meant to hold together in prominent, high-impact settings while still feeling handmade and unpredictable.
Counters can partially close in places due to the heavy inked texture, and thin interior gaps and small chips become more noticeable at smaller sizes. The distressed artifacts above and below many glyphs add motion and grit, so spacing and line height benefit from a little extra breathing room in dense settings.
