A heavy, rounded display face with thick, blobby strokes and soft corners. Letterforms show intentionally uneven outlines and pitted interior counters, creating a worn, ink-splattered texture across both capitals and lowercase. Curves are generally inflated and compact, while straights wobble slightly, producing a lively rhythm and a casual, hand-cut feel. Spacing appears sturdy and generous for the weight, helping the dense shapes remain readable at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as posters, headlines, event flyers, album art, and packaging where the textured silhouette can do the talking. It can also work for playful branding elements, stickers, or merchandise, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for longer copy.
The overall tone is mischievous and high-energy, with a lo-fi, messy charm that feels handmade rather than polished. The rough interior bites and irregular edges add a gritty, comedic edge, suggesting DIY printmaking, sticker graphics, or punky poster lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately rough, imperfect surface—combining chunky, friendly proportions with a distressed finish to evoke handmade printing and energetic display typography.
Counters vary in size and cleanliness from glyph to glyph, and some strokes show small voids or scuffs that read like distressed printing. Numerals match the same inflated, irregular construction, maintaining consistent texture across the set.
