A compact, heavy display face with hand-drawn, print-style letterforms and visibly irregular edges. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with subtle contrast created by rough, brush-like contours and occasional flattened terminals. Counters are relatively small and shapes are simplified, producing strong dark mass and a lively, uneven rhythm. The set mixes rounded bowls with slightly angular joins, and spacing and widths vary enough to keep the texture intentionally imperfect rather than mechanical.
Best suited to short, bold copy such as headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a handmade look is desired. It can work well for signage and punchy social graphics, especially when used with generous tracking and ample line spacing to keep the dark shapes from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is informal and characterful, reading as friendly and slightly rugged. Its roughened outlines and chunky proportions give it a homemade, craft-forward feel that can lean whimsical or folksy depending on color and layout.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted or marker-drawn lettering in a sturdy, highly legible display form. The intentional roughness and uneven width aim to add warmth and personality, making text feel crafted rather than typeset.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase stays similarly weighty with simple, sturdy constructions; the dotted i/j are prominent, and the numerals match the same rough, drawn texture. The dense color and textured edges are more noticeable at larger sizes, where the irregularity becomes a key part of the personality.
