A hand-drawn, all-purpose Latin with rough, inked outlines and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple, print-like construction, but the contours wobble and the terminals look dry and slightly frayed, creating a worn, stamped/brush-pen impression. Curves are somewhat irregular and counters vary in size, while overall spacing and glyph widths fluctuate to keep a natural, handmade rhythm. Numerals follow the same casual, sketchy logic, with inconsistent stroke pressure and softly distorted geometry.
Well suited to display uses where texture is an asset: posters, flyers, editorial headlines, album/playlist artwork, and packaging or labels for artisanal or rustic products. It can also work for short pull quotes or signage where a handmade, imperfect tone is desired, but the roughness may compete with readability in long text or at very small sizes.
The texture and irregularity give the font an informal, gritty personality that feels crafty and lived-in rather than polished. It reads as approachable and a bit mischievous, with a zine/poster energy that suggests human touch and imperfect printing.
Designed to simulate quick, hand-rendered lettering with a deliberately distressed edge, balancing simple, recognizable shapes with organic variation. The goal appears to be a casual display face that injects texture and personality without becoming abstract or overly decorative.
The distressed edge treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping the set feel cohesive despite the intentionally uneven drawing. The heavier blotting at joins and occasional tapering at terminals adds a convincing marker/brush feel that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
