A heavy, hand-drawn sans with brush-like strokes and intentionally rough, irregular edges. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with uneven stroke terminals, subtle wobble in verticals, and occasional interior nicks that suggest dry-brush or worn print texture. Counters stay mostly open despite the weight, while curves (O, C, G, S) feel lumpy and organic rather than geometric. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, giving the set a lively, informal rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase, with similarly irregular, marker-like numerals.
Best suited to display applications where texture and personality are desired: posters, packaging, labels, event promotion, and social graphics. It can work for short bursts of copy (taglines, callouts, headings), while longer text will benefit from larger sizes and generous line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and friendly, with a scrappy, DIY personality. Its textured, imperfect contours read as approachable and fun, leaning toward handcrafted poster art and casual, expressive messaging rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears aimed at delivering an expressive, handcrafted look with built-in wear and brush texture, capturing the feel of quick marker lettering or rough screen/letterpress impressions. It prioritizes character and visual energy over strict regularity, making it a strong choice for themed, informal branding and punchy display typography.
The distressed texture is integrated into the stroke edges rather than applied as a separate overlay, so the roughness reads consistently at display sizes. The lowercase has a simple, print-like construction with minimal calligraphic modulation, keeping the voice straightforward while still clearly handmade.
