A heavy, rounded display face with soft, blobby contours and irregular, distressed interiors that resemble worn ink or rough printing. Strokes are thick and simplified, with occasional nicks, gaps, and uneven fill that create a mottled texture across counters and joins. Letterforms lean toward geometric, friendly shapes (wide bowls, broad shoulders) while keeping a deliberately imperfect edge and slightly inconsistent widths for an organic rhythm. Numerals match the chunky construction, with open, easy-to-spot silhouettes and the same scuffed texture throughout.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, titles, packaging callouts, and branded merch graphics where the distressed texture can act as a visual hook. It also fits playful event promos, kids or hobby-related materials, and bold signage-style applications where readability comes from silhouette rather than fine detail.
The overall tone is playful and bold, with a scrappy, handmade energy. Its roughened texture reads as casual and slightly rebellious—more street-poster or comic sign than polished corporate typography.
Designed to deliver a friendly, chunky display voice while adding a worn, inked texture for character and attitude. The intent appears to be maximizing impact and approachability, with distressing used to keep the forms from feeling sterile or purely geometric.
The distressed effect is prominent even at larger sizes, creating noticeable speckling and interior breakup that becomes a core part of the style. Because the texture competes with fine detail, it will visually dominate in longer passages and works best when given room to breathe.
