A heavy, blocky display face with soft, bulging silhouettes and rough, torn-looking edges that suggest an inked or cutout process. Counters are frequently minimized or partially collapsed, creating a dense, poster-like color on the page. Stroke endings are blunt and irregular, and the outlines wobble subtly from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, imperfect rhythm. Overall widths are generous, with compact internal space and simplified joins that favor bold shapes over fine detail.
Best suited to short display settings where impact matters more than fine legibility, such as posters, headlines, album or gig artwork, packaging fronts, stickers, and bold social graphics. It works well at larger sizes where the rugged edge detail and compressed interiors remain clear.
The font conveys a gritty, mischievous energy—part comic, part punk flyer—combining friendly rounded mass with distressed texture. Its irregular edges and packed interiors create a loud, attention-grabbing tone that feels informal and expressive rather than refined.
The design appears intended to emulate a rugged, analog making process—like stamped ink, worn screen print, or rough-cut lettering—while staying approachable through rounded, chunky proportions. It prioritizes visual punch and texture, delivering a distinctive, solid silhouette for expressive display typography.
In the text sample, the dense letterforms and reduced counters can cause some characters to merge visually at smaller sizes; the design reads best when given room and contrast. The numerals match the same chunky, distressed construction, keeping a consistent, stamp-like presence across alphanumerics.
