A chunky, rounded, forward-leaning display face with soft, blobby letterforms and a marker-like, inked silhouette. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with gently wobbly geometry and slightly irregular joins that keep the rhythm loose and handmade. A consistent speckled texture is cut into the fills, giving the glyphs a porous, worn print look. Counters are compact and simplified, and overall spacing feels built for headline impact rather than tight text setting.
Best suited to posters, merch graphics, packaging, and short headlines where the bold mass and textured fill can read clearly. It also works well for playful branding, labels, and social graphics that benefit from a hand-printed, slightly worn aesthetic.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a nostalgic, handcrafted energy. The speckled distressing adds a tactile, screen-printed feel that reads as friendly grunge rather than harsh decay.
Likely designed to deliver an easygoing, hand-inked display voice with built-in texture, simulating imperfect printing or worn marker fills while staying highly legible at larger sizes.
The slant and soft corners emphasize motion and approachability, while the internal speckling remains consistent across letters and numerals, helping the distressed effect feel intentional and uniform.
