A chunky, display-oriented sans with heavy, rounded forms and deliberately irregular outlines. Strokes show small notches, bites, and choppy edges that mimic cut paper or distressed paint, creating a lively, uneven texture across words. Counters are generally compact and often slightly misshapen, while terminals tend to be blunt and soft rather than sharply finished. Letter widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy, with subtle shape wobble that keeps the line from looking mechanical.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event promos, product packaging, and logo wordmarks where the rough, cut-paper texture can be appreciated. It also works well for children’s media, playful signage, and attention-grabbing social graphics, especially at larger sizes.
The font reads as mischievous and energetic, with a handmade, DIY character that suggests posters, stickers, and playful packaging. Its roughened contours add a touch of grit without turning into heavy grunge, giving it a fun, slightly unruly attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver bold readability with a handcrafted, distressed finish, balancing rounded cartoon-like silhouettes with intentionally imperfect edges to create an expressive, informal display voice.
At text sizes the distressed edge detail can begin to fill in, so it performs best when given room to show its texture. The numerals and caps carry the same cutout-like damage, helping headings and short phrases feel cohesive and punchy.
