A heavy, hand-drawn sans with soft, rounded forms and noticeably irregular outlines. Strokes are thick and low-contrast, with wobbly edges and occasional blobby terminals that suggest marker ink or rough printing. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters tend to be open and simplified, and curves look slightly flattened or swollen in places. The overall texture reads consistently distressed without collapsing legibility in short text.
Best suited to display applications where texture is part of the message—posters, packaging, stickers, album art, and casual branding. It can work for short blurbs or taglines when a handmade, roughened voice is desired, but the uneven edges and variable shapes are most effective at larger sizes.
The font conveys an informal, handmade tone with a worn, imperfect finish. Its rough edges and uneven stroke behavior add a gritty, lo-fi character that feels approachable rather than aggressive, lending a playful DIY energy to headlines and labels.
The design appears intended to mimic a thick marker or brush-pen alphabet that has been deliberately roughened to introduce a distressed, printed-wear look. The goal is expressive impact and tactile texture over strict geometric consistency.
Caps and lowercase share the same sturdy, rounded construction, while the figures match the chunky weight and irregular contouring. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample text, and the distressed texture remains visible at display sizes, where the edge character becomes a primary stylistic feature.
