This typeface has a hand-drawn, inked look with roughened edges and subtly uneven stroke widths. Letterforms are built from simple, chunky shapes with blunt terminals, occasional notches, and slightly wobbly contours that suggest a marker or brush pressed to paper. Curves are generally round and open, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is steady and modular, keeping glyphs visually aligned while preserving natural variation.
It works well for short bursts of copy—posters, headlines, pull quotes, and branding elements—where a handmade, rough print texture is desirable. It can also support packaging, album/cover art, and editorial/zine-style layouts that benefit from a casual, tactile feel. For extended reading, moderate sizing and generous leading help manage the busy edge texture.
The overall tone feels informal and human, with a grungy, tactile character that reads as spontaneous rather than engineered. Its irregularities add personality and a slightly rebellious, DIY edge, while the consistent spacing keeps it approachable and easy to scan.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-printed lettering while maintaining a consistent, grid-friendly structure for predictable setting. It emphasizes texture and personality over refinement, aiming for an expressive, lived-in look that still holds together in lines of text.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged construction, and numerals follow the same chunky, hand-inked logic. In text, the repeated rough edges create a lively texture that becomes part of the voice, especially at larger sizes where the contour detail is more apparent.
