A chunky, hand-drawn display face with rounded forms and a loose, brushy construction. Strokes are thick and visibly uneven, with organic tapering and occasional blobby terminals that suggest marker or loaded brush lettering. Counters and interiors show speckling and worn patches, creating a printed-through, distressed texture rather than clean solids. Overall proportions feel friendly and compact, with simple, slightly irregular geometry and lively width variation across letters.
Works best for short, punchy setting such as posters, packaging callouts, titles, and social graphics where the distressed texture can read clearly. It also suits playful branding elements, labels, and merch-style applications that benefit from a handmade, ink-on-paper character. For body text, it’s most effective in larger sizes where the interior wear and irregular edges remain legible.
The font conveys an informal, crafty energy—playful and approachable, but with a gritty, imperfect edge. Its inky texture and wobble read as human-made and tactile, lending a relaxed, DIY tone that can also feel a bit rugged and poster-like.
Likely designed to emulate bold hand lettering with a worn print or ink-bleed finish—capturing the spontaneity of brush/marker strokes while adding distress for a tactile, vintage-printed impression.
Texture is a defining feature: many glyphs include irregular voids and scuffed areas that will become more prominent at larger sizes and may fill in at small sizes. Rounded silhouettes keep the distortion from feeling harsh, while the uneven rhythm and varying letter widths add a spontaneous, hand-lettered feel in longer lines of text.
