A rough, hand-drawn Latin with a brush/marker feel and visibly ragged outlines. Strokes show frequent tapering, uneven pressure, and occasional ink breaks that create a dry, textured edge. Letterforms are slightly right-leaning with variable rhythm and width, giving a lively, imperfect baseline and spacing pattern. Counters tend to be open and organic (notably in rounded forms), and terminals often end in pointed, flicked, or frayed strokes that emphasize the drawn gesture.
Works best for display settings where texture is a feature: posters, album/cover art, event graphics, packaging accents, and short headlines. It can also support informal editorial pull quotes or social graphics when a handmade, roughened voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the edge texture remains visible.
The overall tone is informal and expressive, with a grungy, sketchbook energy that reads as human and spontaneous rather than polished. Its texture suggests rough printing or worn ink, lending a bit of edge while still feeling approachable and playful.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of quick brush lettering while preserving a consistent alphabet for repeated use. Its controlled irregularity and distressed edge treatment aim to add personality and grit to contemporary themed graphics without relying on strict calligraphic structure.
Capitals are relatively tall and narrow compared to the roundness of many lowercase forms, creating a mixed, eclectic color in text. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with simple construction and noticeable stroke wobble that reinforces the distressed character.
