A chunky, rounded display face with thick strokes and soft, blobby terminals. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed in feel, with irregular contours and visible interior speckling that suggests worn ink or rough printing. Curves are dominant, counters are generally open but uneven, and strokes show subtle wobble and tapering that adds a hand-drawn rhythm. Overall spacing is steady for a distressed style, with a lively, imperfect silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short-form display use where the rough texture and heavy weight can be appreciated—posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, stickers, and event or café signage. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or social graphics, especially when a handmade, imperfect finish is desired.
The texture and inflated shapes give a friendly, mischievous tone—more quirky than aggressive. Its imperfect edges and ink-worn details feel informal and tactile, evoking DIY graphics, playful signage, and characterful packaging.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a deliberately worn, ink-printed character. The goal appears to be high impact at a glance while retaining a casual, hand-crafted personality through irregular outlines and interior texture.
Distressing appears both along the outlines and within fills, creating a mottled, stamped look at larger sizes. The lowercase has a simple, approachable construction (single-story forms where applicable), while the caps retain a bold, poster-like presence. Numerals match the same rounded, inky texture and read as hand-inked rather than geometric.
