A heavy, rounded display face with chunky, somewhat irregular silhouettes and consistently distressed contours. Strokes are thick and compact with soft corners, while edges appear torn or chiseled, creating small bites and notches along stems and bowls. Counters are generally small and rounded, and the overall texture reads as deliberately rough rather than noisy. Spacing and widths vary slightly across glyphs, reinforcing an organic, cut-out feel while maintaining clear, sturdy letterforms.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where texture and personality are assets—posters, headlines, event flyers, game/UI titles, stickers, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for playful branding marks or merch graphics when a rough, handmade finish is desired.
The font conveys a mischievous, energetic tone—like bold lettering that’s been ripped from paper, stamped imperfectly, or carved quickly. Its rough perimeter adds grit and attitude, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable and cartoon-friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded base shape, then add character through irregular, worn edges. The goal is a bold display voice that feels handcrafted and slightly unruly while remaining legible at headline sizes.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, simplified construction, with single-storey forms and prominent, rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same chunky language and distressed edge treatment, supporting cohesive titling and poster-style typography.
