A heavy, rounded sans with dense silhouettes and softly squared curves, rendered with deliberately rough, uneven edges that mimic ink spread or distressed stamping. Strokes are thick and assertive, with small counters and occasional asymmetries that create a hand-cut feel. Terminals are blunt and slightly irregular rather than crisply geometric, and the overall color on the page is very dark and solid. The figures and letters share a consistent rugged texture, keeping a cohesive, poster-ready texture across the set.
Best suited to display applications where impact matters more than precision—posters, cover art, product packaging, stickers, and branded merchandise. It also works well for playful headings, pull quotes, and label-style typography where a gritty, printed texture is desirable.
The texture and chunky forms give the font an informal, tactile personality—somewhere between screen-printed merch, DIY signage, and vintage cartoon title lettering. It reads as friendly and loud rather than refined, with a slightly messy, analog energy that suggests movement and character.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with an intentionally imperfect, analog finish. By combining rounded sans forms with roughened edges and tight counters, it aims to evoke hand-printed or cut-letter aesthetics while maintaining a straightforward, blocky readability.
The distressed perimeter treatment is prominent enough to become a defining feature, so the type’s personality shifts noticeably with size: larger settings highlight the rugged edges, while smaller settings can cause counters and details to close up. The overall rhythm feels punchy and compact, with strong block shapes that create high visual impact in short phrases.
