A rough, hand-drawn sans with uneven, brushy strokes and visibly distressed edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with slightly inconsistent widths and bouncy rhythm, giving lines of text a lively, irregular texture. Strokes show jitter and occasional doubled/overworked contours, with rounded turns that feel marker- or dry-brush-like rather than mechanically drawn. Counters are generally open and simple, keeping the set readable despite the intentional roughness.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, flyers, album covers, merch, and bold packaging. It can work for short UI labels or pull quotes when a handmade, gritty feel is desired, but longer passages will feel busy due to the distressed stroke edges.
The overall tone is scrappy and human, with a DIY energy that reads informal and a bit rebellious. Its textured outlines evoke worn print, quick signage, or sketchbook lettering, adding a gritty but approachable personality to headlines.
The design appears intended to simulate quick, hand-rendered lettering with worn or dry-ink artifacts, balancing straightforward shapes with purposeful imperfections. It prioritizes character and tactile texture over precision, aiming for an authentic, handcrafted look in contemporary display typography.
The distress pattern appears embedded in the stroke shapes (not a uniform overlay), so each glyph carries its own irregularities and small variations. The numerals and capitals maintain a straightforward, sign-painter simplicity, while the texture adds character and visual noise that becomes more prominent at smaller sizes.
