A chunky, all-caps-friendly display face with compact proportions and heavy, rounded forms. Strokes show deliberate roughness: edges wobble, terminals look dry-brushed, and many glyphs carry inner streaks or uneven fill that suggests worn ink or textured printing. Curves are slightly squashed and geometric, counters are generous, and joins are simplified, producing strong silhouettes even with the distressed texture. Overall spacing is moderately tight, with a lively, irregular rhythm created by the hand-drawn inconsistencies across letters and figures.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, packaging accents, and branding moments that benefit from a handmade, textured voice. It works well for playful campaigns, craft or street-market aesthetics, and energetic editorial callouts where the rough fill can be appreciated.
The texture and bouncy construction give the font a casual, mischievous tone—more sketchbook and screen-print than polished signage. It reads as friendly and energetic, with a lightly rebellious, DIY character that fits playful or offbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver bold impact while retaining an intentionally imperfect, hand-inked texture. Its simplified shapes and consistent distressing suggest a goal of quick readability at display sizes paired with a distinct DIY, worn-print attitude.
The distressed detailing is prominent at larger sizes, where the interior streaking and rough edges become a key part of the personality; at smaller sizes the texture may visually thicken and reduce clarity. Numerals and uppercase have especially strong presence for short statements and labels.
