A hand-drawn display face with thick, brush-like strokes and noticeably roughened edges and interiors that suggest dry ink or worn printing. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with rounded terminals, uneven stroke boundaries, and small pockets of texture that create a mottled fill in many glyphs. The rhythm is energetic and informal, with subtle inconsistencies in curves and joins that reinforce an organic, crafted look while staying mostly upright and legible at display sizes.
This font works best for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, event promos, packaging callouts, and brand marks that want a handmade, gritty flavor. It also suits album art, café signage, and social graphics where texture is a feature and large sizes preserve the distressed details.
The overall tone is friendly and cheeky, with a street-poster grit that feels tactile and human. Its distressed texture adds a rebellious, DIY attitude while the rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive brush lettering with built-in wear and ink breakup, delivering a ready-made handcrafted texture without needing additional effects. It prioritizes personality and impact over uniformity, aiming for a bold, tactile presence in display typography.
Uppercase forms read as bold, blocky, and simplified, while lowercase shows more handwritten motion (notably in curved letters and descenders), producing a lively mixed-case color. Numerals follow the same inky, imperfect construction, with open counters and irregular edges that emphasize the rough-print character.
