A compact, heavy display face with chunky strokes and slightly rounded corners. The letterforms are built from simplified, mostly geometric shapes, but the contours show purposeful wear: irregular edges, small nicks, and uneven interior counters that mimic rough printing or dry-brush ink. Curves stay broad and full, while terminals often end bluntly, creating a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is energetic, with subtle glyph-to-glyph variation that keeps the texture active in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, badges, packaging, and merchandise graphics where the rough texture can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding and themed materials that want a printed, tactile feel; for longer copy, larger sizes and generous leading help keep the texture from visually filling in.
The font reads as friendly and mischievous, mixing bold presence with a tactile, imperfect surface. Its distressed texture adds a casual, DIY tone—more handmade than industrial—while the compact proportions keep it punchy and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, cartoon-leaning display voice with a deliberate worn/inked surface, as if stamped or printed on absorbent paper. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and an animated rhythm while using distressing to add character and grit without sacrificing overall clarity.
The distressing appears consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving long passages a speckled, worn-in color. Counters and apertures remain fairly open for a distressed style, helping the face stay legible at display sizes while still delivering a strong texture.
