A heavy, rounded display face with uneven, hand-cut contours and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, but the edges wobble and chip, creating a consistently rough silhouette across letters and numerals. Counters are compact and irregular, with a slightly squeezed, lumpy geometry that keeps forms legible while emphasizing texture. Spacing reads sturdy and compact in text, with a lively, imperfect rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited for short display settings where texture and personality are the point: posters, flyers, packaging callouts, stickers, and bold social graphics. It can also work for playful signage or themed materials where a rough, handmade look is desirable; for longer reading, the dense weight and irregular edges are likely to feel heavy.
The overall tone is mischievous and informal, with a tactile, inky roughness that feels like stamped or marker-drawn lettering. Its irregularities add energy and a casual, rebellious edge, making it feel more playful than polished.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a hand-inked, worn texture—prioritizing character and tactile presence over precision. The goal appears to be a bold, friendly display voice that still carries a rough, distressed finish for added attitude and visual noise.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same chunky, rounded construction, helping headlines feel cohesive even in mixed case. Numerals match the weight and texture, with especially bold, simplified shapes that hold up well at larger sizes. The distressed edge treatment is consistent enough to feel intentional rather than accidental.
