A heavy, rounded display face with chunky, softly squared forms and a compact, slightly uneven rhythm. Strokes are thick and simplified, with broad counters and blunt terminals that keep the silhouettes readable at large sizes. Distress appears as irregular nicks, worn patches, and small voids inside the black shapes, creating a printed/inked texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Overall widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, stamped feel rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, stickers, and event flyers where texture and personality are an asset. It works well for short lines, titles, and bold callouts, especially in playful or gritty branding contexts where a worn, inked look is desired.
The texture and bulbous proportions give the font a mischievous, DIY character—more poster-friendly and humorous than formal. Its worn interior speckling and rough edges suggest aged printing, screen-ink drag, or deliberately battered lettering, lending an energetic, gritty personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice while adding a deliberately distressed print texture for attitude and tactility. The simplified shapes prioritize instant impact, while the irregular wear keeps the tone casual and expressive.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and stable baseline behavior, but the distressed detail becomes more prominent as sizes increase. The numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction and weathered texture, helping headlines and short callouts feel cohesive.
