A heavy, chunky display face with simplified, rounded letterforms and compact counters. The strokes feel weighty and uneven, with subtle wobble and hand-cut irregularity in curves and joins. A consistent distressed texture is baked into the shapes: small speckles, voids, and worn patches appear throughout the fill, giving the impression of ink breakup or rough printing. Overall spacing is fairly open for the weight, helping the dense forms stay legible in short lines.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, bold headlines, packaging, labels, and merch graphics where texture and impact are desirable. It also works well for short bursts of copy in social graphics or event promotions, especially when paired with cleaner body text to keep longer reading comfortable.
The font projects a bold, gritty energy with a friendly, cartoonish softness in its rounded geometry. Its worn surface adds a tactile, DIY attitude—like a stamped poster, a weathered sign, or a screenprint pulled a few times too many—balancing roughness with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while adding a pre-worn, analog print character. By combining rounded, straightforward letter shapes with consistent ink-break distress, it aims to feel energetic, tactile, and instantly attention-grabbing in branding and promotional contexts.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same stout, simplified construction, and the numerals match the same blunt, rounded style. The distress pattern is noticeable at all sizes and becomes a defining feature in text blocks, so clean backgrounds and strong contrast will best support readability.
