A heavy, hand-drawn sans with chunky strokes and visibly uneven contours. Letterforms have a brush/marker-like build with soft corners, slight wobble, and irregular stroke edges that create a rough, printed texture. Counters are generally open and roundish, while terminals appear blunted and inconsistently finished, reinforcing the handmade feel. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, slightly noisy rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display applications where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, merch graphics, packaging, social promos, and album or podcast cover art. It can work for short subheads and pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing, but the distressed edge detail may reduce clarity in long passages or very small UI text.
The font conveys an informal, energetic tone—friendly and approachable, but with a gritty, distressed character that feels intentionally imperfect. Its texture suggests DIY craft, zine, or screen-printed ephemera, giving headlines a spontaneous, human voice rather than a polished corporate one.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, handcrafted display voice with a distressed finish, emulating brush lettering or imperfect print processes. The goal appears to be expressive impact and authenticity over geometric precision, with consistent roughness used as a stylistic signature.
Uppercase forms read as compact and sturdy, while lowercase adds extra idiosyncrasy through inconsistent bowls, stems, and joins. Numerals share the same roughened construction and remain legible, though the distressed edges create visual density at smaller sizes. The overall texture is consistent across the set, making it feel cohesive despite the deliberate irregularity.
