A heavy, inked display face with chunky, rounded forms and noticeably rough, torn-looking edges. Strokes are thick and fairly even, but the contours wobble and chip in a way that reads as hand-printed rather than mechanically drawn. Counters are generous and soft, terminals tend to be blunt, and curves feel slightly lumpy, giving the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm. Spacing and glyph shapes vary subtly from letter to letter, reinforcing a tactile, stamped or brushy impression.
Well-suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, album or zine covers, packaging, stickers, and event flyers. It can also work for children’s activities, casual signage, and social graphics where a handmade, imperfect texture is desirable, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading where the rough edges could become visually tiring.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a scrappy, DIY energy. Its rough perimeter and bouncy silhouettes suggest an informal, comic, and slightly rebellious mood—friendly rather than aggressive, but unmistakably expressive.
The design appears intended to emulate bold hand-printed lettering with an intentionally distressed outline, prioritizing personality and texture over strict uniformity. It aims to deliver strong presence and a crafted, analog feel in display settings.
At text sizes the rugged edges remain prominent, so the face reads best when the texture is allowed to show. The numerals match the same chunky, distressed construction, and the set maintains strong color on the page for attention-grabbing lines.
