A heavy, rounded display face with irregular, brush-like contours and occasional interior notches that create a worn, inked texture. Strokes are chunky and simplified, with soft corners and uneven terminals that vary from glyph to glyph, giving the set a handmade rhythm. Counters tend to be small and sometimes partially closed, while curves and bowls read as slightly blobby rather than geometric. The overall texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with noticeable edge chatter and subtle width differences that keep the line lively.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, event flyers, themed promotions, game or entertainment titles, and bold packaging moments where texture is an asset. It works well in single words or brief lines, paired with a simpler supporting text face for longer reading.
The font projects a mischievous, slightly spooky energy—like bold marker lettering that’s been scuffed, stamped, or dry-brushed. Its rough, inky texture feels informal and expressive, lending a sense of playful menace suited to thematic or seasonal graphics.
Likely designed to deliver an instantly recognizable distressed display voice that feels hand-painted and energetic, prioritizing character and texture over typographic neutrality. The aim appears to be creating a bold thematic headline style that reads quickly while adding a rough, expressive surface.
Legibility remains strong at headline sizes, but the distressed edges and tight counters can begin to fill in as sizes get smaller or when used on busy backgrounds. The numerals share the same chunky, imperfect construction, helping mixed text keep a unified, rugged tone.
