A chunky, hand-rendered display face with uneven stroke edges and subtly irregular contours that mimic rough inking or worn print. Forms are mostly monoline in feel, with blunt terminals, soft corners, and occasional nicks that create a textured silhouette. Counters tend to be small and slightly off-round, and curves (like C/O/S) show natural wobble rather than geometric precision. Overall spacing and widths vary by letter, contributing to an informal, hand-set rhythm.
Works best for display settings where personality and texture are desirable: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and promotional graphics. It suits themed applications such as craft branding, rustic products, children’s or playful messaging, and designs that benefit from a worn-ink or handmade feel.
The tone is playful and earthy, with a craft-paper, stamp-and-ink character that feels intentionally imperfect. Its roughened outlines add a lightly gritty, vintage-worn flavor while keeping the letterforms friendly and approachable.
Designed to deliver a bold, handmade impression with deliberate irregularity, evoking rough printing, brush/marker lettering, or distressed stamping. The goal appears to be high visual impact with an informal, characterful texture rather than typographic neutrality.
The texture reads primarily on the outer edges rather than heavy internal distressing, so the shapes stay solid and high-impact at larger sizes. In running text, the uneven rhythm and compact counters create an energetic, slightly chaotic color that favors short phrases over long reading.
