A hand-drawn display face with chunky, high-contrast strokes and subtly irregular, roughened contours that mimic dry ink or worn printing. Forms are generally upright but not rigid: curves bulge, terminals flare unevenly, and joins show slight wobble that keeps the texture lively. Capitals feel tall and sculpted with softened corners, while the lowercase is compact with small counters and a short x-height, giving text a dark, punchy color. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating an organic rhythm rather than a strictly uniform typographic cadence.
Well suited for headlines and short passages where texture and personality are desirable—posters, packaging, café or craft branding, book covers, and themed event materials. It can work for brief display copy in print or digital, especially where a handmade, slightly weathered look supports the message.
The overall tone is playful and crafty, like hand-lettering used in vintage labels or storybook headings. Its distressed texture adds warmth and a touch of mischief, suggesting something homemade, imperfect, and human rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to deliver an expressive, handcrafted display voice with a lightly worn print feel. The goal appears to be strong impact and charm—prioritizing character and texture over strict regularity—so typography feels illustrative and approachable.
The distress is consistent across the set, showing as uneven edges and slight interior roughness rather than heavy fragmentation, so letters remain clearly recognizable. Numerals and key shapes (like the single-storey “a” and “g”) reinforce a casual, hand-rendered personality that reads best at larger sizes.
