A heavy, rounded sans with chunky silhouettes and softly squared curves. Strokes maintain a broadly consistent thickness, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, with rough, chipped edges that create a distressed, hand-cut look. Counters are compact and sometimes asymmetrical, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy due to slightly uneven curves and varied internal shapes. The numerals and capitals read strongly as solid blocks, while lowercase forms keep the same stout, tactile construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, stickers, and event promotions where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a bold, handmade presence, but the distressed edges may reduce clarity in small text.
The texture and uneven contours give the face a playful, scrappy energy—more handmade than engineered. It suggests a casual, mischievous tone with a retro poster/DIY sensibility, balancing friendliness from rounded forms with edge from the distressed perimeter.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly rounded structure, then add character through deliberate roughness and irregular contours. It aims to evoke a tactile, printed or cut-paper feel while staying broadly legible in large sizes.
The distressed detailing is baked into the letterforms rather than appearing as a separate overlay, so the texture remains visible at display sizes and becomes denser at smaller sizes. Round letters like O/Q show noticeably organic counters, and diagonals (e.g., V/W/X) keep thick, blunt terminals that reinforce the bold, cutout feel.
