A heavy, rounded display face with irregular, brushy stroke edges and visibly textured interiors that suggest inky drag and rough printing. Letterforms are mostly monoline in feel but with uneven stroke buildup, creating punchy contrast between dense black areas and small inner counters. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly swollen, and curves are soft and lumpy rather than geometric. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing an organic rhythm; lowercase forms stay compact with simple constructions and occasional quirky joints and spurs.
Works best for short, bold statements where the textured edge and handmade feel can be appreciated—posters, packaging callouts, playful branding, event flyers, and album/cover art. It can also serve as a personality accent in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text companion.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a crafty, doodled character that reads friendly rather than strict. Its roughened texture adds a worn, tactile mood—more zine/poster than corporate—while the rounded shapes keep it approachable.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering or marker-made shapes captured through imperfect reproduction. Its goal is to deliver immediate impact with a tactile, DIY look that feels human and slightly chaotic while remaining broadly legible in display settings.
At larger sizes the distressed texture and uneven edges become a key feature; at smaller sizes those details may visually fill in, especially in tight counters and joins. Numerals match the same hand-rendered, slightly wobbly construction, keeping a consistent, messy-ink personality across text and figures.
