A chunky, rounded display face with compact proportions and a heavy, inked-in presence. Strokes are thick with softened corners, irregular contour wobble, and visible interior pitting/speckling that reads like worn printing or rough inking. Curves are generous and terminals tend to feel blunted rather than sharp, producing a bouncy rhythm across words. Overall letterfit appears tight and the silhouettes stay bold and legible at larger sizes despite the distressed texture.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for short bursts of UI or social graphics where a handmade, printed feel is desired, but the distressed interiors may reduce clarity at small sizes.
The texture and softened forms give a friendly, slightly scrappy tone—like vintage signage, screen-printed merch, or a stamp that’s been used a little too long. It feels informal and characterful, leaning toward fun and nostalgic rather than sleek or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, high-impact headline voice while simulating imperfect ink coverage and worn edges. Its consistent roughness and rounded construction suggest a deliberate retro-print aesthetic aimed at personality and immediacy over refinement.
Distressing is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with small specks and occasional rough patches that add visual noise. The numerals share the same rounded, blocky build, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
