A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and soft, inflated shapes, treated with an irregular distressed edge. The outlines look chipped and splattered, with small notches and drips that interrupt stems, terminals, and bowls, creating a deliberately messy silhouette. Curves dominate most forms, while diagonals and joins stay thick and simplified; overall spacing reads solid and blocky, with uneven edge texture providing the primary rhythm and detail.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as posters, album/cover art, event flyers, packaging accents, and streetwear graphics. It works well where texture and attitude are desired, and is less appropriate for long-form text or small UI labels where the distressed edges may blur.
The font projects a mischievous, handmade energy—more sticker, stencil-splatter, or DIY flyer than polished branding. Its rough perimeter and inky breaks add a gritty, rebellious tone while the rounded construction keeps it friendly and comic rather than menacing.
The design appears intended as a bold display face that fuses rounded, approachable letterforms with a deliberately battered, ink-splatter finish. The goal is to deliver instant personality and a tactile, screen-printed feel without relying on intricate internal detailing.
At larger sizes the distressed contour becomes a defining feature and adds character; at smaller sizes the edge noise can reduce clarity, especially in tight counters and similar shapes (e.g., C/G/O/Q and some lowercase rounds). The numerals follow the same chunky, worn treatment and feel consistent with the letters.
