A slanted, brush-mark sans with rounded terminals and visibly uneven stroke edges that create a gritty, printed texture. Letterforms are simplified and open, with soft corners and slightly irregular curves that mimic a quick marker or dry-brush tool. Spacing and rhythm feel hand-set rather than mechanically uniform, and several characters show subtle wobble and edge breakup that reinforces the distressed finish. Numerals are sturdy and legible, matching the same brushed, slightly rough construction.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where the brushed texture and slanted momentum can be appreciated—posters, punchy headlines, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, and social content. It can also work for brief text blocks when a casual, handmade voice is desired, though the textured edges will remain a prominent part of the look.
The font conveys an approachable, handmade energy with a worn, tactile character. Its roughened edges and lively slant add a sense of motion and informality, suggesting casual creativity rather than precision. Overall it feels friendly and energetic, with a lightly rugged, DIY tone.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of quick, confident hand-lettering with a deliberately worn finish, balancing bold readability with tactile imperfection. It prioritizes personality and energy over strict geometric consistency, aiming for an authentic, crafted impression in branding and display use.
The distressed texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reading more like ink drag or rough printing than random noise. The design maintains clear silhouettes at text sizes in the sample, while the edge texture becomes more noticeable as the size increases.
