A heavy, rounded display face with blobby, soft-cornered forms and an overall hand-drawn silhouette. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with slightly irregular contours that keep the rhythm lively rather than geometric. The distressed character comes through as scattered speckling and pitted interior texture within the black letterforms, like worn ink or rough print. Counters are generally open but compact, and terminals tend to be bulbous, producing a friendly, high-impact texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, bold statements—posters, event promotions, product packaging, labels, and social graphics where the texture can be appreciated. It also fits playful branding and craft/DIY aesthetics, especially when used at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed speckling remains legible.
The font reads as playful and approachable, with a quirky, handmade energy. Its worn-in texture adds a casual, vintage-leaning grit that can feel craft-oriented or poster-like rather than polished corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with friendly, rounded shapes while adding a pre-worn print texture for character. It prioritizes personality and visual flavor over neutrality, aiming for a handmade, retro-leaning display voice.
The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, giving headlines a cohesive, screen-printed look. The overall darkness of the letterforms means spacing and line breaks matter; it benefits from a bit of breathing room in layouts to avoid looking overly dense.
