A hand-drawn print face with thick, brush-like strokes and visibly textured edges, as if made with a dry marker or loaded brush. Letterforms show irregular stroke widths, occasional blobby terminals, and small wobbles in verticals and curves that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. The construction is largely upright with slight, inconsistent lean, and spacing feels organically uneven, reinforcing the handmade look. Counters are generally open and simple, while the overall silhouette reads compact and punchy with a bold presence.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, packaging labels, event promos, thumbnails, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when you want a handmade, imperfect voice, but the rough detailing may be less comfortable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys an informal, gritty friendliness—part DIY poster, part sketchbook lettering. Its rough edges and uneven rhythm give it an energetic, human tone that feels spontaneous and expressive rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to emulate quick, hand-inked lettering with a dry-brush texture—prioritizing immediacy, attitude, and visual noise over typographic refinement. The consistent roughness across letters and numbers suggests an intentional, controlled messiness aimed at expressive display use.
Capital forms are assertive and blocky, while lowercase retains a looser, more scribbled character; together they create a strong contrast between headline impact and casual text texture. Numerals follow the same brush-drawn logic, with irregular curves and slightly distorted proportions that keep the set cohesive.
