A heavy display face with compact, rounded letterforms and abrupt terminals. Strokes are thick and simplified, with irregular, roughened edges that mimic dry-brush or worn ink, creating small nicks and notches along outlines. Counters tend to be tight and sometimes slightly lopsided, and curves show subtle wobble rather than geometric precision. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with a lively, slightly uneven rhythm that reads clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings like posters, event flyers, labels, and packaging where the textured silhouette can stay crisp and intentional. It works well for short headlines, logos, and punchy callouts, especially when paired with a clean companion text face for longer reading.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade energy—bold and attention-seeking, with a mischievous, informal tone. Its worn texture suggests street-level immediacy and analog printing, balancing toughness with a cartoonish friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an intentionally imperfect, ink-worn finish—evoking brush-painted signage or distressed print. It prioritizes personality and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for bold branding moments and expressive titles.
The distressed treatment is strongest at corners and terminals, where the silhouette breaks up into jagged flecks and scallops. Spacing appears relatively open for such heavy shapes, helping maintain legibility in short bursts while preserving the rough, stamped look.
