A chunky, all-caps-forward display face with heavy, uneven strokes and distinctly ragged contours. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, giving letters a slightly swollen, blobby silhouette while preserving clear glyph identities. Terminals and joins feel hand-shaped rather than geometric, with irregular bite-marks along edges that create a textured rhythm across words. Spacing appears moderately tight in text, and the overall color is dense and punchy at headline sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, cover art, branding accents, packaging, and sticker-style graphics where texture is a feature. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the dense weight and rough edges make it less appropriate for long body text or small UI sizes.
The font projects a playful, mischievous attitude—like hand-cut stencils, rough ink stamps, or cartoon title lettering that’s been weathered. Its texture reads as intentionally imperfect, lending an energetic, DIY tone that can feel quirky, gritty, or slightly spooky depending on context.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately rough, handmade texture—prioritizing personality and tactile ink/print character over refinement. The consistent distressing across letters and numbers suggests it’s meant to feel like a unified stamped or cut-out system for expressive display typography.
Round forms (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) emphasize thick outer bowls with compact inner counters, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) show the strongest edge wear and wobble. Numerals match the same distressed massing, staying bold and attention-grabbing rather than strictly utilitarian.
