A heavy, rounded display face with chunky, soft-cornered letterforms and uneven, distressed contours. Strokes appear like thick marker or ink laid down with variable pressure, creating subtle lumps, nicks, and small interior voids along edges. Counters are generally small and sometimes irregular, and terminals tend to be blunt and rounded rather than sharp. Overall spacing feels loose and organic, with slightly inconsistent widths and silhouettes that emphasize a handmade, printed-worn look.
Best suited for short display settings like posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and merchandise where a rugged, tactile look is desired. It can also work for playful branding accents and social graphics, especially when set large enough for the distressed edges to read clearly.
The texture and wobble give it a gritty, DIY energy that reads friendly rather than aggressive. It feels informal and expressive, with a bold, poster-like presence that leans toward playful grunge and street-ready charm.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with an intentionally imperfect, worn-ink aesthetic—prioritizing personality, texture, and immediacy over polished uniformity. The letterforms aim to feel hand-rendered and bold, as if stamped, screen-printed, or quickly painted for attention-grabbing display use.
The distressed details show up both on outer contours and inside bowls, so the font’s texture becomes part of the lettershape rather than a separate effect. The strongest impression comes at larger sizes, where the edge wear and ink-break artifacts remain clearly visible.
