A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, hand-hewn contours and noticeably uneven stroke edges that read like stamped ink or cut paper. Counters are simplified and often squarish, with tight apertures and blunt terminals that create a dense texture. Proportions feel expanded and blocky overall, while individual letters vary slightly in width and silhouette, giving the line a lively, inconsistent rhythm. The baseline and verticals remain generally steady, but the outlines wobble and nick in ways that emphasize a tactile, imperfect surface.
Best suited to display roles where character matters more than neutrality: posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging, and punchy branding moments. It works especially well for humorous or offbeat themes, and for short phrases where the rough texture can read clearly without overwhelming the page.
The font projects a mischievous, loud, and DIY energy—more comic and unruly than refined. Its roughness suggests handmade production and adds a slightly gritty attitude, making text feel bold, informal, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate, high-impact voice through exaggerated weight and intentionally irregular outlines, simulating a handmade or distressed process. Its goal is to feel distinctive and expressive, prioritizing personality and texture over typographic restraint.
At text sizes the jagged perimeter and tight counters can make long passages feel heavy, but the strong shapes hold up well for short bursts. The numerals and capitals share the same carved/inked texture, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive despite the intentionally uneven detailing.
