A slanted, heavy, hand-drawn sans with rounded corners and irregular, roughened edges. Strokes look like marker or brush lettering that has been overprinted: outlines wobble slightly, counters show mottled texture, and terminals are often blunted rather than sharply cut. Letterforms are simplified and compact with a steady baseline and lively rhythm, while individual glyph widths vary enough to keep the texture organic in words. Numerals match the same inky, distressed treatment and maintain strong, high-visibility silhouettes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture is a feature: posters, event flyers, product packaging, labels, stickers, and social graphics. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but the distressed interior detail may soften at small sizes or on low-resolution output.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a worn, printed-by-hand feel that reads as crafty and rebellious rather than polished. Its speckled ink texture and friendly shapes give it a playful, DIY personality that can lean vintage or zine-like depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, hand-made display voice with built-in roughness, mimicking imperfect ink coverage and worn printing while keeping letterforms clear and readable. It prioritizes character and tactile texture over geometric precision.
Distressing appears both on the exterior contours and inside the shapes, creating a consistent “ink breakup” effect across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The italic slant is moderate and uniform, helping maintain flow in longer lines while still feeling hand-rendered.
