A chunky, hand-rendered sans with uneven, dry-ink edges and a lightly abraded texture throughout. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear in feel, but the outline wobble and occasional thinning create a natural, brushed rhythm. Counters are open and generous (notably in O, P, R, and lowercase a/e), while terminals often end bluntly with slightly ragged clipping, suggesting stamped or brush-painted forms. Overall spacing feels compact and energetic, with small variations in glyph width and stroke finish that keep the texture lively across lines of text.
Works best for display use such as posters, labels, apparel graphics, event promos, and rustic or craft-forward branding where texture is part of the message. It can also add personality to short pull quotes or UI accents, but the rough edges and dense color make it most effective at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The tone is informal and human, with a workshop-made grit that reads friendly rather than aggressive. Its roughened edges and inky fill evoke DIY signage, screenprint posters, and worn packaging, giving copy an approachable, slightly rebellious character.
Designed to capture the look of hand-painted or printed lettering with intentional wear, prioritizing texture and personality over geometric precision. The goal appears to be an easy-to-set display face that delivers an analog, tactile feel without needing custom artwork.
The distressed texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping headings and short phrases feel cohesive. Numerals share the same hand-cut quality, with rounded shapes and subtly uneven curves that reinforce the analog impression.
