A heavy, hand-drawn display face with brush-like strokes and noticeably rough, speckled edges that read as ink drag or worn printing. Forms are compact and condensed overall, with rounded terminals, uneven stroke boundaries, and slightly irregular counters that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Letterforms lean toward simple, blocky construction with occasional calligraphic inflections (notably in curves and joins), and the numerals share the same inky, textured mass and soft corners.
Best suited for short, punchy display settings where the textured strokes can read clearly—posters, headlines, merchandise graphics, labels, and expressive packaging. It can also work for social graphics or event promos that benefit from a bold, handmade look, while extended small text may lose clarity due to the dense ink and distressed edges.
The overall tone is casual and energetic, with a scrappy, hand-printed personality. Its rough texture and thick presence suggest an informal, crafty feel—more street-poster and sketchbook than polished editorial typography.
Likely designed to deliver an immediate, handcrafted impact with a deliberately rough print/brush texture. The goal appears to be strong silhouette readability paired with an imperfect, tactile finish that adds character and attitude.
Texture is a primary feature: the interior mottling and edge chatter remain visible at display sizes and may fill in at smaller sizes. Spacing appears intentionally loose and friendly, supporting the font’s handmade character rather than strict geometric consistency.
