A chunky, rounded display face with heavily irregular, chewed-looking contours and subtly wobbly outlines. Strokes are thick and compact with soft corners, while counters are small and sometimes uneven, creating a slightly clogged, ink-smeared feel. The overall construction stays readable but intentionally imperfect, with inconsistent terminals and edge texture that suggests worn stamping or rough marker fill.
Best suited for attention-grabbing display settings such as posters, event flyers, album covers, skate or streetwear graphics, and bold packaging labels. It also works well for short, high-impact slogans and playful branding where a rough, tactile texture is desirable.
The font projects a mischievous, lo-fi energy—more comic and scrappy than polished. Its rough edges and blobby forms feel tactile and rebellious, giving headlines a DIY, zine-like attitude while staying friendly rather than menacing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable headline voice with deliberate wear and irregularity—evoking rough print, distressed ink, or an imperfect hand-cut look. It prioritizes personality and texture over typographic refinement, aiming to feel energetic and handmade.
Letterforms lean toward simplified, geometric silhouettes (notably in round shapes like O/0 and bowl letters), but the distressed perimeter breaks the geometry and adds motion. Spacing appears relatively tight in text, and the heavy mass can darken quickly in longer lines, making it most effective when given room to breathe.
