A rough, hand-rendered sans with blunted terminals and irregular, slightly wavy strokes that mimic marker or brush lettering. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple, open constructions, while edges show consistent abrasion and ink spread that creates a textured silhouette. Proportions skew on the condensed side, with modest counters and a compact rhythm; widths and curve shapes vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, imperfect texture. Figures are similarly simplified and uneven, matching the alphabet’s worn, stamped look.
Best suited for short display copy where the rough texture can be a feature: posters, packaging, labels, merch, and event or festival graphics. It also works well for thematic headers and pull quotes that aim for an analog, hand-made feel rather than crisp text typography.
The font conveys a homemade, human tone—casual and approachable with a gritty, tactile edge. Its distressed texture reads as weathered or screen-printed, suggesting craft, indie culture, and analog production rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to emulate imperfect hand lettering and worn print artifacts, combining simple sans structures with deliberate edge breakup to create a tactile, vintage-craft impression.
Texture is prominent at display sizes and can visually fill in smaller details, so spacing and open counters become especially important in longer lines. The overall rhythm stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, keeping the distressed character cohesive in mixed-case settings.
