A chunky, heavy display face with soft, rounded outer corners and irregular, hand-worn edges. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, with subtly uneven contours that create a stamped or rough-printed texture without breaking the silhouettes. Counters tend to be small and rounded, and letterforms lean toward compact, slightly squashed proportions with a gently wobbly rhythm across the alphabet. The numerals follow the same blunted, lumpy construction, staying highly legible while retaining the distressed surface character.
Best suited for attention-grabbing headlines and short statements where its rough, blobby shapes can be appreciated. It works well on posters, product packaging, badges and labels, event promos, and logo wordmarks that want a playful-but-gritty personality.
The overall tone is friendly and mischievous, pairing kidlike softness with a gritty, imperfect finish. It feels casual and handcrafted, suggesting humor, informality, and a bit of throwback print charm.
Likely designed to provide an impact-heavy display voice with a controlled distressed finish—combining rounded, approachable forms with the character of worn ink or imperfect printing for themed and expressive typography.
The texture reads as consistent across glyphs—more like deliberate edge wear than random noise—so words form bold, cohesive blocks on the page. The distressed detailing is strong enough to be visible at headline sizes while remaining readable in short bursts of text.
