A chunky, rounded display face with heavily filled strokes and soft, blobby contours. Letterforms are upright with broad proportions and simplified geometry, while edges show irregular, ink-pressed wobble and occasional interior speckling that reads like worn printing. Counters are small and uneven, terminals are generally rounded, and the overall rhythm is bouncy with loose optical consistency rather than strict construction.
Best suited to bold headlines and short phrases where texture and personality are desirable—such as posters, playful branding, product packaging, stickers, merch graphics, or event promos. It can also work for logotypes or titles that want a handmade, worn-ink impression, especially when set with generous spacing.
The font conveys a casual, mischievous tone—like bold hand-painted signage or a well-used rubber stamp. Its roughened texture and uneven contours add a lively, imperfect character that feels friendly and a bit rebellious rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic a heavy, handmade mark—somewhere between brushy lettering and distressed print—prioritizing charm and impact over precision. Its wide, rounded shapes and intentionally imperfect edges suggest a display role meant to feel tactile and approachable.
At larger sizes the distressed surface and soft edge variation become a key part of the personality; in tighter settings, the small counters and heavy mass can reduce clarity. The numerals match the same blobby, inked-in feel, supporting cohesive headline use.
