A heavy, forward-leaning display face with chunky strokes, rounded corners, and slightly irregular contours. Letterforms are built from simple, compact shapes with open counters and a lively, uneven rhythm, while the outlines and internal edges show a worn, inked texture that varies from glyph to glyph. Terminals are blunt and softened rather than sharp, contributing to a friendly silhouette even at large sizes.
Best suited to posters, punchy headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks where a textured, handcrafted look is desired. It can also work well for apparel graphics and event or food-and-drink promotions, especially when set with generous spacing and at larger sizes to let the distressed detail read clearly.
The overall tone feels bold and spirited, with a handmade, weathered character that suggests printed ephemera and well-used signage. Its rough texture adds grit without becoming harsh, giving it a casual, approachable attitude suited to expressive headlines.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a lively slant and a deliberately worn finish, balancing bold legibility with a tactile, imperfect surface. The intent reads as a display font for attention-grabbing typography that feels human, printed, and slightly rough around the edges.
The texture appears as intermittent nicks and speckling across strokes, which will become more prominent as the type is scaled up. The slanted stance and chunky proportions create strong word shapes, while the irregular edge treatment keeps lines from feeling overly uniform.
