A hand-rendered, brushy sans with visibly irregular outlines and textured stroke edges. Forms are mostly upright with simple, open construction, but the stroke width fluctuates noticeably, creating a high-contrast, ink-on-paper feel. Curves look slightly wobbly and counters are uneven, while terminals taper and fray as if made with a dry brush or worn marker. Spacing and glyph widths vary from character to character, reinforcing an organic rhythm rather than a rigid, geometric cadence.
Best suited to display contexts where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, album artwork, book covers, packaging, and event promotion. It can also work for short pull quotes or headings when you want an intentionally rough, human touch; extended small-size text may lose clarity due to the distressed edges.
The overall tone is gritty and informal, with a spirited, DIY energy. Its distressed texture reads as rough, human, and slightly chaotic—more zine and street-poster than polished branding—while still staying friendly and legible at display sizes.
Likely intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettering with a distressed, dry-brush texture, delivering an expressive alternative to clean sans lettering. The design prioritizes character and tactile imperfection while maintaining straightforward, readable silhouettes.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent handmade logic, with simplified shapes and occasional idiosyncratic details that feel drawn rather than constructed. Numerals match the same roughened stroke behavior, keeping the set cohesive for headlines and short bursts of copy.
