A hand-drawn print face with rough, dry-brushed strokes and visibly irregular edges. Forms are compact and slightly condensed, with uneven stroke buildup that creates a gritty texture and intermittent blots at corners and terminals. Counters tend to be somewhat tight, and curves and joins show subtle wobble, giving the alphabet a deliberately imperfect, ink-on-paper feel. The overall rhythm is lively and inconsistent in a controlled way, with small variations in width and character shapes across the set.
Works best in display contexts such as posters, packaging, labels, and editorial headlines where texture is an asset. It can also support short passages, pull quotes, or title treatments when you want a handmade, distressed tone, but it will read most comfortably at moderate-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a rugged, handmade attitude—casual and a bit gritty, like distressed signage or brush-ink lettering. Its texture and unevenness add energy and a vintage, DIY character that feels more expressive than polished.
Designed to emulate hand-rendered, brushy lettering with intentional distress and natural variation, prioritizing character and tactility over geometric precision. The goal appears to be an expressive print style that brings a gritty, analog surface to contemporary layouts.
In text, the roughened outlines remain prominent and can visually darken lines, especially in smaller sizes or dense paragraphs. The numerals and capitals have the same distressed treatment, making the style consistent across display copy and short bursts of text.
