A heavy, rounded sans with compact, chunky forms and subtly uneven letter widths. Strokes are thick with simplified geometry, softened corners, and a generally steady upright stance, but the outlines are intentionally distressed with speckling, chips, and rough interior texture that mimics worn ink or rough printing. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy due to small irregularities and varied glyph silhouettes.
Best suited to short, bold statements such as posters, event flyers, product packaging, labels, and headline treatments where the texture can read clearly. It also works well for playful branding marks and merchandise graphics that benefit from a rugged, printed-on-paper feel.
The font conveys an energetic, imperfect, handmade tone—more fun and gritty than formal. Its worn texture suggests a lived-in, analog character that feels approachable and a bit mischievous, like stamped packaging or a well-used sign.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a deliberately weathered print texture, combining friendly rounded shapes with gritty imperfections to evoke analog production and casual authenticity.
Distressing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with visible flecks and occasional edge breaks that become part of the voice. The rounded terminals and simplified joins keep it friendly despite the rough surface, while the strong weight makes it assertive at display sizes.
