A chunky, rounded display face with compact proportions and slightly irregular widths. Strokes are heavy and simplified, with soft terminals and a hand-drawn, marker-like construction rather than precise geometry. Distress is built into the letterforms as scattered interior voids and worn patches, giving the impression of ink dropout or rough printing. Curves are full and open, counters are often partially eroded, and overall spacing reads tight but legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, event flyers, titles, and bold pull quotes where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, labels, merch, and social graphics that aim for a handmade or screen-printed look rather than a polished corporate tone.
The font conveys a worn, crafty energy—casual and approachable, with a grungy, DIY feel. Its imperfect texture adds a nostalgic, screen-printed character that can read as playful or edgy depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to blend a friendly, rounded display structure with deliberate wear and ink-dropout texture, simulating imperfect print or painted lettering. The goal is to deliver instant character and tactility, prioritizing mood and visual impact over pristine uniformity.
The distressed pattern appears consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified texture when set in words and lines. The texture becomes a primary visual feature, so the face benefits from generous size and clear contrast against the background to keep counters from filling in.
