A heavy, hand-rendered text face with rounded, brush-like strokes and noticeably roughened edges. Letterforms are compact with soft terminals, uneven contours, and subtle wobble that creates a printed-by-hand rhythm. Counters stay fairly open, while stroke endings often look slightly blotted or dry-brushed, producing a tactile, ink-on-paper texture. Proportions are irregular across glyphs, with a lively baseline and small variations in width and curvature that reinforce the handcrafted feel.
Works best for posters, flyers, packaging accents, and headline-sized copy where the rough texture can be appreciated. It’s well suited to branding in craft, food, and lifestyle contexts, as well as editorial callouts and album or book covers that benefit from a handmade, tactile voice.
The overall tone is warm and scrappy—casual, approachable, and a bit mischievous. Its imperfect outlines and inky texture suggest DIY craft, zines, and hand-stamped signage rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-lettering made with a loaded brush or marker and then reproduced with slight printing wear. Its goal is to deliver strong presence with an intentionally imperfect, organic finish.
In the sample text, the texture reads consistently across long passages, giving headlines and short blocks a distinctive, gritty color. Numerals and capitals share the same rough brush character, keeping the set cohesive for display-led compositions.
