A heavy, brush-like display face with irregular, textured edges and uneven stroke terminals that suggest wet ink or rough printing. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified, slightly condensed counters and a soft, rounded geometry that’s interrupted by choppy notches and occasional interior voids. The rhythm is intentionally inconsistent: stroke widths swell and pinch, joins look hand-formed, and spacing varies from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, imperfect texture across lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, packaging, social graphics, album or book covers, and punchy headlines. It works particularly well at medium to large sizes where the rough edges and ink variation can read clearly, and less well for long-form or small-size UI text where the distressed details may clutter.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a crafty, handmade feel that reads as bold and attention-seeking rather than refined. Its distressed texture adds a gritty, screen-printed character that can feel retro, DIY, and slightly mischievous.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-painted or roughly printed look while staying legible in bold, high-impact compositions. Its deliberate irregularities provide a built-in “worn/inked” texture for projects that want an immediate handmade presence without additional effects.
Uppercase forms tend to be compact and poster-like, while the lowercase includes single-storey shapes (notably a, g) and simplified constructions that keep the voice casual. Numerals are chunky and irregular, matching the same roughened edge treatment for consistent impact in headings and short bursts of copy.
