A rough, hand-rendered text face with irregular, brushy stroke edges and slightly wobbly outlines that mimic dry-ink or worn printing. Letterforms are compact and somewhat condensed, with simplified construction and minimal detailing; terminals often end bluntly or with small spur-like flares. Stroke weight varies subtly within each glyph, and counters are slightly uneven, producing a lively texture across lines. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing a handmade rhythm while remaining readable in continuous text.
Works best for short to medium-length display copy where texture is part of the message—posters, packaging labels, editorial headlines, event graphics, album art, and book covers. It can also add a handmade accent to pull quotes or section headers, especially when paired with a cleaner companion for body text.
The overall tone is casual and tactile, with a gritty, distressed character that feels crafted rather than mechanical. It projects an earthy, lo-fi energy—approachable and a little unruly—suited to designs that want personality and texture over polish.
Likely designed to deliver a distressed, hand-inked look with strong legibility, capturing the feel of casual brush lettering or aged printing while keeping forms straightforward enough for practical display use.
In the sample text, the rough contouring creates a dark, speckled color on the page, especially in rounded letters and heavy verticals. Uppercase shapes read bold and sign-like, while lowercase maintains a simple, handwritten print feel; numerals share the same roughened contour and informal proportions.
