A chunky, hand-rendered sans with rounded forms and heavily irregular outlines. Strokes look pressure-built and slightly blotty, with soft corners and ragged edges that mimic dry brush or worn stamp printing. Counters are simple and somewhat pinched in places, and curves wobble subtly, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm. Spacing feels loose and organic, and the numerals share the same rough, inked texture and sturdy silhouettes.
Works best for short to medium display text where the rough texture can be appreciated—posters, packaging callouts, album/playlist art, merchandise graphics, and event headlines. It can also add a handmade accent to branding systems when used sparingly alongside a cleaner companion face.
The font reads as informal and tactile, with a gritty, do-it-yourself energy. Its worn texture and uneven contours evoke screen-printed posters, zines, and hand-painted signage, balancing friendliness with a slightly raw, street-level attitude.
Likely designed to deliver an authentic, printed-by-hand look with built-in wear and ink variation. The goal appears to be a bold, approachable display voice that feels analog and imperfect, suitable for expressive, texture-forward typography.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with noticeable edge breakup that becomes part of the letterform rather than a separate overlay. Rounded terminals and simplified shapes keep it legible at display sizes while preserving the distressed character.
