A chunky, all-caps-forward display face with heavy strokes and compact letterforms. The shapes are built from simple, rounded geometry but rendered with visibly uneven edges, nicks, and slight waviness that suggest rough inking or worn printing. Counters are generally small and irregular, and terminals often end in blunt, softened corners. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the line a lively, slightly jostled rhythm rather than a strictly engineered cadence.
Best suited for short display settings where texture and personality are desired: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, stickers, and social graphics. It can work effectively for punchy subheads or logo-style wordmarks when set with generous tracking and plenty of size to let the distressed edges read clearly.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a handmade, lo-fi attitude. Its distressed texture reads as casual and energetic, evoking DIY posters, street-flyer typography, and vintage novelty lettering more than polished corporate type.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally imperfect, print-worn look while retaining simple, legible silhouettes. It prioritizes impact and character over smooth curves and even color, creating a bold, handcrafted presence for themed and expressive typography.
Lowercase forms follow the same rugged construction as the capitals, with notably stout stems and compact apertures that can darken quickly in dense settings. Numerals are equally weighty and irregular, matching the poster-like voice of the alphabet.
