A heavy, rounded display face with soft, inflated silhouettes and uneven contouring. Strokes are thick and dark, with intentionally rough edges and peppered interior voids that mimic worn ink or distressed printing. Letterforms keep a mostly upright stance but vary in width and mass, creating a lively rhythm; counters tend to be small and irregular, and terminals read as blunt and slightly lumpy rather than crisp.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, event flyers, product packaging, labels, and bold social graphics. The strong texture and tight counters benefit from generous sizing and spacing, where the distressed details can read clearly without closing up.
The overall tone is casual and mischievous, combining a friendly, cartoonish roundness with a gritty, printed-wear texture. It feels bold and attention-seeking, with a tactile, handmade character that suggests posters, stamps, or screen-printed ephemera.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice that feels both approachable and aged—like a friendly, rounded sans pushed through a rough print process. Its construction prioritizes personality and texture over precision, aiming for instant visual flavor in titles and branding moments.
Texture is present both along the outlines and within the filled areas, so the darkest spots are not perfectly solid and can appear speckled. The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set read as a unified style rather than random erosion.
