A chunky, rounded sans with heavy, poster-like forms and visibly roughened contours. Strokes are thick with simplified construction and soft corners, while the edges show irregular bite marks and scuffed texture that reads like worn ink or distressed printing. Counters stay fairly open for the weight, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy, with small width and shape deviations from letter to letter contributing to an intentionally imperfect, handmade look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like posters, headlines, packaging labels, stickers, and apparel graphics where texture is part of the message. It can also work for event branding or social graphics that need a bold, gritty tone; for longer text, larger sizes will help the distressed details stay clear.
The texture and exaggerated weight give the type a loud, gritty energy that feels casual and mischievous rather than polished. It evokes DIY print, stamped graphics, and rough poster lettering—bold enough to be attention-grabbing while keeping an approachable, cartoonish warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate, high-energy display voice by combining simple, rounded letterforms with an intentionally worn print texture. The slight irregularities and scuffed surface suggest a deliberate move away from clean geometry toward a tactile, handmade impression.
The distressed treatment appears both along the exterior edges and as internal speckling/voids, creating a consistent aged-ink effect across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, upright structure with single-storey forms where expected, helping legibility despite the heavy texture.
