A chunky, marker-like sans with rounded terminals, irregular stroke edges, and scattered interior speckling that reads as worn ink or rough printing. Letterforms are simplified and friendly, with soft corners and subtly uneven curves that keep the rhythm lively. Stroke weight varies within and across glyphs, and spacing feels loosely set, enhancing the handmade, imperfect texture while maintaining clear silhouettes in both caps and lowercase.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display copy where texture and personality are assets—posters, event promos, product packaging, merchandise graphics, stickers, and bold social media headlines. It can also work for brief body text in playful layouts, especially at sizes large enough for the distressed details to read cleanly.
The font projects an informal, approachable personality with a scruffy, lived-in edge. Its inky texture and slightly wobbly construction suggest DIY craft, zine culture, or hand-painted signage rather than polished corporate typography.
Likely designed to deliver a hand-rendered, inked look with deliberate imperfections, combining legibility with a tactile distressed finish. The goal appears to be an expressive display voice that feels casual and human rather than mechanically uniform.
The distressed texture is consistent across the set, showing small voids and rough patches that become more pronounced at larger sizes. Caps are compact and sturdy, while lowercase forms stay simple and rounded, supporting a friendly, conversational tone in sentences.
