A heavy, rounded sans with thick strokes and soft, blobby terminals. Letterforms are built from simple geometric skeletons but rendered with highly irregular, stippled-looking edges that make each contour feel ink-saturated and worn. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and curves wobble slightly, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Overall spacing is loose and the texture is dense, giving text a strong black presence with a mottled silhouette.
Best suited to display use such as posters, music and entertainment graphics, apparel, stickers, and bold editorial headlines where a gritty, handmade texture is desirable. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a deliberately rough, printed look.
The font projects a gritty, handmade energy that feels informal and slightly chaotic. Its roughened outlines suggest photocopy wear, brushy marker fill, or distressed screenprint, creating a rebellious, DIY tone. The rounded construction keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, making it read as playful grunge.
The design appears intended to merge a simple, legible rounded sans structure with a strongly distressed perimeter, creating instant character without sacrificing overall recognizability. It prioritizes impact and texture, evoking worn print and DIY lettering for thematic, expressive typography.
In paragraphs, the edge noise accumulates into a pronounced texture, so the face works best when the distressed silhouette is meant to be noticed rather than disappear. The irregular perimeter is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping maintain a cohesive look even at larger sizes.
