A heavy, chunky display face with broad proportions and rounded, soft-cornered silhouettes. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, with subtle contrast created by uneven ink spread and pressure-like swelling. The outlines are intentionally irregular: edges look chewed or brush-worn, counters are slightly lumpy, and terminals often end in blunted, organic shapes. Spacing and glyph widths vary, giving the line a lively rhythm while maintaining clear, simple letterforms.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, large headlines, packaging, labels, stickers, and merchandise graphics. The rough edge texture and dense black shapes hold up well at display sizes, where the organic irregularities become a distinctive feature.
The overall tone is playful and friendly, but with a gritty, imperfect texture that reads like worn screen print or rough stamping. It suggests a handmade, DIY sensibility—bold and attention-seeking without feeling precise or corporate.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a deliberately imperfect, tactile finish—evoking hand-printed graphics and worn display lettering while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms are compact and blocky, while lowercase remains highly simplified with sturdy bowls and short, thick joins. Numerals follow the same soft, distressed construction, with slightly irregular interior shapes that reinforce the printed, inky character.
