A chunky, rounded display face with heavy strokes and visibly uneven, print-like edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple, friendly geometry, but contours show deliberate wobble, nicks, and speckled voids that suggest worn ink or rough stamping. Counters are generally open and circular, terminals are blunt, and the overall rhythm feels lively due to subtle inconsistencies in width and stroke shape across glyphs.
Well-suited to short, high-impact text where texture is part of the message: posters, packaging callouts, labels, stickers, and casual branding. It can also work for themed event flyers or social graphics that benefit from a tactile, printed look.
The texture and softened shapes give it a warm, approachable tone with a rugged, DIY character. It reads as playful and imperfect in a way that feels vintage and handmade rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic bold, friendly letterpress or stamped lettering, combining simple, readable shapes with controlled wear to add character. The goal is an expressive headline font that feels human, imperfect, and physical.
The distressed detailing appears both along outer contours and as small interior speckling, creating a consistent “ink on paper” effect. The numerals match the same rounded, weighty construction, helping maintain a cohesive voice in headline settings.
