A heavy, brush-marker style with rounded terminals and soft, slightly uneven contours. Letterforms lean gently and show a lively baseline rhythm, with widths that vary by character for an organic, hand-drawn feel. Counters are generally compact and the shapes are simplified, prioritizing bold silhouettes over fine internal detail. A subtle speckled/ink-wear texture appears within the strokes, reinforcing a printed, gritty finish while keeping overall forms clear at display sizes.
Well-suited to short, punchy headlines on posters, packaging, and labels where a bold handmade voice is desirable. It also fits social graphics, thumbnails, and youth-oriented branding that benefits from a lively, tactile feel. For best results, use at larger sizes to let the distressed texture read intentionally rather than as noise.
The font reads as energetic and approachable, with a crafty, street-poster personality. Its inky texture and buoyant curves suggest informal creativity—more zine and hand-lettered signage than polished editorial typography.
Likely designed to emulate confident brush lettering with a deliberately worn ink texture—combining big, rounded forms for immediate impact with enough irregularity to feel human and tactile.
The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, giving a cohesive distressed look without breaking the primary silhouettes. Uppercase forms are chunky and friendly, while lowercase maintains a casual handwritten logic with single-storey shapes and simple joins.
