A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, compact forms and pronounced ink-trap-like notches and bite-outs that create a roughened, hand-cut texture. Curves are full and bulbous while counters stay relatively small, giving the letters a dense, punchy silhouette. Strokes show deliberate irregularities and angular shears at joins and terminals, producing a lively rhythm rather than a polished geometric finish.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging, and promotional graphics where texture and attitude are assets. It can also work well for logos and merchandise-style typography, especially when a playful, bold voice is needed; extended body copy may feel dense due to the tight counters and heavy color.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, with a bold, poster-like presence that feels informal and attention-grabbing. Its roughened edges and soft rounding suggest a friendly, retro-leaning personality—more playful than corporate, more expressive than neutral.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded structure while introducing a crafted, distressed texture through cut-in shapes and uneven terminals. The slanted stance and compact proportions reinforce motion and urgency, aiming for expressive display typography rather than quiet text setting.
Diagonal stress and consistent slant unify the set, while the intentional nicks and cut-ins add contrast and prevent the heavy shapes from clogging at display sizes. The numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction and maintain a strong, readable silhouette.
