A chunky, rounded display face with heavy strokes and soft corners, drawn with an intentionally uneven, hand-made rhythm. Letterforms keep simple, mostly geometric skeletons but show irregular contours, wobble, and subtle swelling that makes each glyph feel individually inked rather than mechanically uniform. The texture includes scattered pinholes and worn patches within the fills, creating a printed/ink-pressed look. Counters are generally open and legible, terminals are blunt, and overall spacing is generous enough for large, bold setting.
Best suited for posters, packaging, and other headline-forward applications where the textured fill can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for labels, stickers, and merchandise graphics that want a casual, handcrafted print feel, while remaining readable in short passages and punchy slogans.
The font conveys a playful, scrappy energy—like hand-stamped signage or a well-loved screen print. Its worn texture adds a casual, lived-in tone that feels friendly rather than aggressive, with a slightly retro craft vibe.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect ink coverage and worn printing while preserving clear, friendly letter shapes. It aims for bold impact with a tactile, handmade personality that adds character to contemporary or retro-inspired layouts.
The distressed pattern is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving blocks of text a mottled color and tactile presence. Rounded bowls and blunt joins keep the texture from feeling sharp, while the slight irregularity in widths and shapes adds charm and motion in headlines.
