A heavy, rounded display face with irregular, blobby contours and roughened edges that mimic uneven inking or worn stamping. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with soft corners and slightly drifting silhouettes that create an informal, hand-shaped rhythm. Counters tend to be small and sometimes asymmetric, and several joins look pinched or smeared, reinforcing the distressed print feel. Overall proportions are compact and sturdy, with subtle rightward energy and noticeably organic letter-to-letter variation.
Best suited to bold headlines and short bursts of copy where texture and personality matter—posters, event flyers, product packaging, stickers, and social graphics. It also works well for thematic branding that aims for a handmade or intentionally rough printed look, especially at larger sizes where the edge texture can be appreciated.
The font reads as playful and scrappy, combining a friendly cartoon softness with a gritty, DIY texture. Its uneven inked shapes evoke zines, street posters, and craft signage—confident and loud, but not polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, ink-worn display voice that feels hand-printed rather than digitally precise. Its goal is to add instant character and a tactile, distressed presence to titles and branding applications.
In longer text, the strong weight and tight internal spaces can make fine details close up, so it benefits from generous sizing and spacing. The distressed edge detail is a defining trait and will be most visible in medium-to-large applications on clean backgrounds.
