A narrow, hand-drawn sans with brushy strokes and pronounced roughness along both edges and counters. Stroke widths fluctuate within each letter, with occasional ink build-up and scratch-like interior texture that creates a worn, printed feel. Forms are mostly upright with simple, rounded geometry, but spacing and widths vary slightly across the alphabet, reinforcing an informal rhythm. Terminals are blunt and irregular, and curves show small kinks and wobble that read as marker or dry-brush lettering rather than a clean digital outline.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, covers, logos, packaging, and editorial headlines where texture is an asset. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels when set with generous size and spacing, especially on light backgrounds where the distressed details remain visible.
The overall tone is raw and energetic, with a casual DIY character that feels deliberately imperfect. Its distressed texture suggests zines, gig posters, or hand-made signage—expressive, a little gritty, and more about attitude than polish.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush/marker text with a intentionally distressed finish, offering a ready-made gritty texture for expressive, theme-forward typography.
Legibility holds up well in short phrases, but the internal texture and uneven stroke edges can reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs. Numerals share the same rough, hand-rendered treatment, keeping the set visually consistent for display use.
