A heavy, chunky display face with broad proportions and compact counters. Letterforms are built from simplified, blocky shapes with slightly flared terminals and uneven, roughened edges that mimic worn wood type or imperfect ink impression. Interior cutouts show small nicks and irregularities, and curves are subtly squarish, giving the whole set a sturdy, hand-printed rhythm. Spacing appears generous and the texture stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, keeping the overall color dense and emphatic.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, labels, and bold signage where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and merchandise graphics that want a tactile, retro-printed feel. For longer passages, the dense color and rough details are likely to work better at larger sizes.
The font projects a loud, mischievous, old-timey energy—like a poster pulled from a box of well-used printing blocks. Its distressed texture reads as tactile and analog, leaning toward fun, slightly chaotic character rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to evoke vintage display typography with a deliberately imperfect, worn impression—combining bold, approachable shapes with consistent distressing to create instant personality and a handmade printing vibe.
The lowercase follows the same robust, simplified construction as the caps, helping mixed-case settings feel unified. Round characters (like O/0) maintain strong presence through compact counters, while diagonals (such as V/W/X) keep a sturdy, stamped feel through blunt joins and textured edges.
