A chunky, rounded display face with heavy, uneven strokes and softly squared corners. Letterforms feel hand-drawn and slightly compressed, with wobbly contours, variable stroke thickness, and occasional interior nicks and pits that read like rough printing or scuffed ink. Counters are small and irregular, and the overall rhythm is intentionally inconsistent, creating a lively, tactile texture across words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications where texture is an asset: posters, event flyers, playful packaging, stickers, social graphics, and comic-style titling. It performs especially well at larger sizes where the roughened details and quirky silhouettes can be appreciated.
The font conveys a playful, mischievous energy with a scrappy, DIY attitude. Its rough edges and blotted shapes suggest spontaneity and humor, leaning toward a cartoonish, informal tone rather than polished refinement.
Likely designed to emulate an expressive marker or brush-ink look with intentionally distressed, imperfect contours. The goal appears to be immediate personality and tactile grit, prioritizing character and punch over typographic precision.
In the text sample, the dense weight and textured interiors create strong color and high impact, while the irregular outlines add visual noise that becomes more noticeable at smaller sizes. The numerals match the same blobby, hand-inked personality, keeping the set cohesive for casual headline use.
