A chunky, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with broad proportions, simplified forms, and uneven, distressed edges. Strokes show a dry-ink texture with speckling and small voids, creating a worn print feel while keeping letterforms sturdy and legible. Curves are slightly irregular and terminals often look blunt or softly rounded, with occasional wobble in verticals and diagonals. Counters are fairly open, and the lowercase maintains a compact x-height relative to tall ascenders, producing a bouncy rhythm in text.
This font suits short, high-impact text where texture is part of the message—posters, editorial headlines, packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics. It also works well for themed titling in games, events, and promotions where a handmade, worn print character helps establish atmosphere.
The overall tone feels handmade and imperfect in an intentional way—like inked signage or a well-used rubber stamp. Its rough texture adds grit and warmth, balancing a friendly, cartoonish silhouette with a more rugged, aged surface.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display presence with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture, evoking analog production methods. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and quick readability while using distress and irregularity to add personality and a tactile, crafted finish.
Uppercase shapes lean toward simple geometric construction, while the texture introduces lively variation from glyph to glyph. Numerals are heavy and clear, matching the same distressed fill and slightly irregular stroke contour, making them suitable for attention-grabbing set pieces.
