A heavy, rounded display face with visibly irregular contours and a rough, worn perimeter that suggests ink spread or distressed printing. Strokes are thick and compact with soft corners, uneven terminals, and small nicks that break up the silhouette. Counters tend to be tight and slightly lopsided, and the overall rhythm is bouncy and uneven, with noticeable variation in shape from letter to letter that reinforces the handmade feel. Numerals and capitals carry the same chunky mass and textured edge treatment, keeping the set visually consistent.
Well-suited for bold display applications where texture is part of the message—posters, cover art, event graphics, packaging, and punchy social tiles. It can also work for short emphatic callouts or labels where a rough, handmade tone is desirable.
The texture and chunky forms give the font a gritty, DIY personality that feels energetic rather than formal. It reads as casual and mischievous, with a poster-like boldness softened by imperfect, hand-inked character.
Likely designed to deliver an instantly impactful, chunky headline look while simulating worn ink or rough printing. The goal appears to be a readable, high-mass letterform with deliberate imperfections to convey authenticity and grit.
At larger sizes the distressed edge detail becomes a key feature, adding tactility and motion to headlines. In smaller settings, the tight counters and rough perimeter may visually fill in, so generous tracking and solid contrast can help preserve legibility.
