A rough-edged, printlike display face with consistent stem weight and an intentionally uneven outline that looks chewed, torn, or dry-brushed around every curve and corner. Letterforms are mostly simple and upright, with compact bowls and fairly tight internal counters; the texture comes from the irregular perimeter rather than contrast. The lowercase reads as a modest, straightforward skeleton with lively nicks and dents, while capitals stay bold and blocky. Overall spacing and rhythm feel slightly bouncy due to the changing edge contour and varying sidebearings, but the underlying forms remain legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album art, and playful branding moments. It can work for brief paragraphs in large sizes where the distressed edge texture remains clear, but it will feel busy at small sizes or in dense UI text.
The font projects a mischievous, offbeat personality—like a stamped label, distressed poster type, or a deliberately imperfect DIY print. Its jittery edges create energy and humor, giving text a scrappy, handmade charm rather than a polished tone.
Likely designed to provide a one-off, characterful display voice built around deliberate imperfection—pairing familiar, readable letter skeletons with a strongly textured, irregular edge to create instant attitude and visual noise.
Numbers and punctuation follow the same torn-outline treatment, helping mixed settings feel cohesive. In longer text, the grainy perimeter becomes the dominant texture, so the face reads best when the roughness is allowed to be a feature rather than a distraction.
