A chunky, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with rounded, swollen shapes and heavily roughened edges. Strokes are thick with frequent nicks, bite-marks, and small interior voids that create a printed/inked, worn texture. Counters are generally small and irregular, and terminals look torn or smudged rather than cleanly cut. The overall rhythm is lively and uneven, with subtle per-glyph wobble and slightly inconsistent widths that reinforce a handmade, distressed look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, event flyers, and music or street-culture graphics. The distressed texture and compact counters make it more effective at medium-to-large sizes where the rough edge detail can read clearly, rather than in long body text.
The tone is loud and mischievous, combining a friendly cartoon softness with gritty abrasion. It reads as energetic and slightly chaotic—more zine-like than polished—making it feel rebellious, informal, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, cartoonish silhouette while simulating wear, ink bleed, and rough reproduction. Its irregular contouring and textured interiors aim to add instant character and attitude, giving layouts a handmade, gritty display voice without relying on additional effects.
Uppercase forms are broad and simplified with soft corners, while lowercase retains the same heavy mass and rough texture, keeping color consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same blobby construction; the roughened contouring remains visible even at larger sizes, where the texture becomes a key part of the personality.
