A heavy, hand-rendered display face with chunky letterforms and visibly irregular, ragged contours. Strokes feel brush-like and compressed in places, with uneven terminals and slightly wobbly curves that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters are generally small and sometimes pinched or asymmetric, while joins and corners stay blunt rather than sharply constructed. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, reinforcing an organic, hand-made texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to large sizes where the rough edge and chunky forms can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding accents, packaging, and merch graphics. It can also work for short callouts in editorial or social graphics when a raw, handmade feel is desired; extended small-text reading is less ideal due to the tight counters and texture.
The overall tone is bold and informal, with a rough, energetic edge that reads as handmade rather than polished. Its distressed texture suggests grit and spontaneity, while the rounded, friendly shapes keep it approachable and slightly playful.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic, hand-painted look with built-in roughness, capturing the character of quick brush lettering or worn ink. Its goal is to add personality and impact while maintaining clear, simple silhouettes for display use.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged texture and weight, keeping headlines cohesive. Numerals follow the same brushy construction and irregular edges, matching the alphabet well for short, attention-grabbing copy.
