A casual, hand-drawn display face with rounded, blobby letterforms and a deliberately uneven contour. Strokes keep a fairly consistent thickness, but edges wobble and pinch, producing an organic rhythm and occasional asymmetry. Interior counters are punctured by small voids and pockmarks, creating a mottled, distressed texture that reads like porous ink or worn stamping. The lowercase is friendly and open with simple, single-storey forms, while the uppercase stays compact and upright, maintaining the same roughened construction across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short display settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, event flyers, packaging, title treatments, and themed signage. It can also work for playful branding accents or pull quotes, especially when a rough, handcrafted look is desired.
The overall tone is scruffy and mischievous, combining a homemade marker feel with a lightly eerie, weathered texture. It suggests craft, imperfection, and a slightly creepy-cute energy rather than polished neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a cohesive distressed look that feels hand-rendered and imperfect, using porous counters and uneven outlines to simulate worn ink and add personality. It prioritizes texture and character over crisp text clarity, aiming for expressive, theme-forward typography.
Texture is baked into both outlines and counters, so the face becomes darker and busier as sizes get smaller. The irregular edges and punctured interiors create strong character in headlines, but they can visually fill in and soften fine details at text sizes or in dense paragraphs.
