A heavy, right-slanted display face with chunky, rounded forms and tightly curved corners. Strokes show uneven, worn-in texture with small nicks and speckling that reads like distressed printing rather than smooth vector edges. Counters are compact and shapes are slightly irregular, giving the alphabet an animated, hand-pressed feel while staying clearly constructed. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent forward motion and bold silhouette, with a sturdy baseline and compact apertures that favor impact over delicacy.
Best suited for short, bold messaging such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging labels, and apparel or sticker-style graphics where texture is an asset. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and breathing room.
The overall tone is loud, friendly, and a little rough around the edges—like vintage sports lettering run through a gritty print process. It balances approachable roundness with a scrappy texture, creating a casual, high-energy voice that feels informal and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver an impactful, forward-leaning display voice with built-in grit, evoking printed wear and tactile ink without sacrificing the clarity of a strong, rounded grotesque-like skeleton.
The distressing appears integrated throughout the glyphs (not isolated to a few characters), which helps long lines of text keep a cohesive, weathered color. The slant and broad shapes create strong word silhouettes, though the tight internal spaces suggest it will read best when not set too small.
