A heavy, rounded display face with thick, blobby letterforms and irregular, roughened edges. Strokes appear like dense marker or paint, with occasional nicks, notches, and interior voids that create a mottled texture. Counters are generally large but uneven, and terminals tend to be soft and bulbous rather than sharp. Overall spacing and widths feel deliberately inconsistent, producing a bouncy rhythm while staying upright and legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, merch, and short callouts where texture and personality are desirable. It can work well for youth-oriented packaging, event flyers, and entertainment or music graphics, especially when paired with a cleaner secondary text font for body copy.
The texture and wobble give it a mischievous, irreverent tone—more street-poster and doodle energy than polished branding. It reads as bold and attention-seeking, with a casual, hand-made attitude that can feel comedic, messy, and a bit chaotic in a controlled way.
The design appears intended to mimic thick hand-lettering made with a saturated marker or paint, then distressed through rough printing or worn ink. The goal is high-impact readability with a gritty, playful texture that feels handmade rather than mechanically precise.
In longer lines the distressed interior texture becomes more noticeable, so the face benefits from generous tracking and breathing room. The figures match the chunky, irregular construction, keeping a consistent voice for bold numeric callouts.
