A heavy, rounded display face with compact, bulbous counters and a generally soft silhouette that’s repeatedly interrupted by rough, chipped edge breaks. Stems and bowls stay broadly consistent in thickness, while the perimeter shows irregular bite-like notches and occasional scrape marks that mimic worn ink or torn paper. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, O, S, and lowercases like a, e, o), and joins are simple and blunt, keeping shapes legible despite the distressed texture. Numerals match the same chunky proportions and share the same edge erosion, producing a cohesive, poster-friendly rhythm.
Best suited to large-size applications where the chipped perimeter can read clearly—posters, headlines, event promos, packaging callouts, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for short, punchy statements in social graphics or titles where a rugged, playful personality is desired.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous: friendly rounded forms read approachable, while the gnarly, torn edges add grit and energy. It evokes DIY prints, costume-horror whimsy, and playful “rough around the edges” branding rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to combine a friendly, rounded display structure with a deliberate worn/chewed edge treatment, delivering high-impact lettering that feels handmade and energetic. The goal seems to be instant personality and texture without sacrificing the bold, readable mass of the letterforms.
The distress is applied consistently across the set, with edge damage appearing as short horizontal tears and small triangular chips rather than random noise, so the texture feels intentional and repeatable. The silhouette remains strong at distance, but the chipped details become a key feature at larger sizes.
