A chunky, heavy sans with softened geometry and irregular, worn-looking interiors. Strokes are broad and blunt with simplified terminals, and counters tend to be open and rounded, giving the letters a cutout feel. The outlines keep an overall upright stance but show noticeable wobble and unevenness, with small nicks and scuffs that read like distressed ink or rough printing. Spacing and widths feel slightly inconsistent across characters, reinforcing a handmade rhythm while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact typography such as posters, headlines, packaging, and promotional graphics where the rough texture can read clearly. It also works well for playful branding elements, stickers, and merchandise, especially when paired with simpler body text that won’t compete with its strong texture.
The font conveys a mischievous, friendly energy—like hand-cut signage or a bold screen print that’s been through use. Its scuffed texture adds grit without becoming aggressive, landing in a fun, casual, slightly retro tone.
The design appears intended to deliver bold readability with a deliberately imperfect, printed-wear character—capturing the feel of handmade or vintage production while staying clear enough for attention-grabbing display settings.
The distressed details appear inside strokes and counters as well as along edges, creating a mottled, ink-worn texture rather than a purely jagged outline. Numerals match the heavy, rounded construction and keep the same roughened treatment for cohesive display use.
