A heavy, compact display face with chunky, rounded silhouettes and simplified construction. Strokes are thick and largely monoline in feel, with subtle tapering and visible ink-wear speckling that creates broken counters and uneven interiors. Curves are slightly lumpy and corners are softened, producing an intentionally imperfect, hand-cut or stamped rhythm. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, distressed texture across words.
Works well for punchy headlines, posters, merch graphics, and packaging where a bold, tactile texture is desired. It’s also suited to playful branding, event titles, and short logotypes that benefit from an imperfect, printed-on-paper feel.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a friendly cartoonish warmth tempered by a gritty, worn print character. It reads like something pulled from a vintage poster, rubber-stamp kit, or DIY craft label—approachable, bold, and a little rough around the edges.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, handmade voice, while the distressed surface adds a vintage, screenprint or worn-stamp authenticity. Its simplified forms and heavy weight prioritize bold presence and personality over refined text setting.
Legibility holds up best at larger sizes where the internal texture reads as character rather than noise; at smaller sizes the speckling and softened joins may visually fill in. The numerals match the same chunky, worn treatment, keeping the set cohesive for headlines that mix type and figures.
