A chunky display face with heavy, rounded-rectangular forms and an intentionally rough finish. Strokes are broadly monolinear, with blunted terminals and slightly bulging curves that give letters a soft, inflated silhouette. Distress appears as irregular nicks, gouges, and worn patches inside and along the edges, creating a printed-and-abused texture rather than clean outlines. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall rhythm is bouncy with small inconsistencies in curve smoothness and edge fidelity that read as purposeful character.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event headers, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sticker-style graphics where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It can also work for playful editorial display lines, but the rough interior wear may reduce clarity in long passages or at very small sizes.
The tone is loud and cheeky, mixing cartoonish friendliness with a scrappy, worn-in grit. It feels energetic and informal, like stamped headlines, DIY packaging, or poster lettering that’s been roughed up by time and handling.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, approachable display voice with a deliberately weathered, imperfect surface—capturing the feel of rough printing, stamped ink, or worn signage while keeping letterforms simple and readable.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with occasional interior scuffs that add visual noise at smaller sizes. Round letters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) emphasize the distressed counter-shapes, while straight-sided forms keep a sturdy, blocky presence.
