A heavy, all-caps-and-lowercase display face built from chunky, simplified letterforms with rounded corners and occasional angular cuts. Each glyph is overprinted with irregular voids and gouged-looking breaks that read like torn paper or chipped paint, creating a consistent distressed texture across the set. Counters are often simplified and partially obstructed, and the rhythm is intentionally uneven—some characters feel more circular and swollen while others are more slabby and wedge-like—giving words a bouncy, collage-like silhouette.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and entertainment-related branding where texture and attitude are desirable. It can work well on dark-on-light layouts with generous size and spacing, and as a secondary accent font paired with a simpler sans for longer text.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, combining a bold, friendly mass with a roughened, weathered attitude. It feels like handmade signage or a playful horror/comic title where imperfection and texture are part of the personality rather than a flaw.
The design appears aimed at delivering immediate impact through oversized shapes and a built-in distressed pattern, evoking a handmade, worn, or cutout aesthetic. Its letterforms prioritize character and texture over strict uniformity, supporting expressive titles and graphic, illustrative typography.
The distressed cut-ins vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, so repeated letters don’t look mechanically identical. The texture sometimes intrudes into counters and joins, which amplifies the irregular character but can reduce clarity in denser passages or at small sizes.
