A heavy, brush-and-ink styled alphabet with irregular outlines, softened corners, and visibly uneven stroke edges. The letterforms are mostly monoline in feel but fluctuate through blobby buildup and dry-brush thinning, creating a textured, stamped look with occasional interior voids and rough counters. Proportions are compact and rounded overall, with short, sturdy terminals and slightly inconsistent widths that enhance the hand-rendered rhythm. Numerals follow the same inky, worn texture and remain highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited for bold headlines and short bursts of text in posters, covers, social graphics, and packaging where texture is a feature. It can also work for themed branding, event promos, and label-style applications, especially when printed or displayed large enough for the distressed details to read clearly.
The font conveys a gritty, homemade energy—like marker lettering or rough screenprint pulled by hand. Its imperfect texture reads casual and expressive, balancing friendly rounded shapes with a slightly messy, distressed attitude.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-painted or marker-drawn lettering with worn print artifacts, delivering an expressive display face that feels tactile and analog. The goal seems to prioritize character and texture over strict uniformity, while keeping forms readable for punchy titles.
The texture is most apparent along vertical strokes and curved bowls, where edges appear scuffed and inked-in. Spacing looks naturally uneven in a way that supports an organic, handcrafted voice rather than precise typography, making it best when allowed some breathing room.
