A heavy, brushlike display face with softly irregular contours and intermittent pitting inside strokes, creating a worn-ink look. Letterforms are rounded and slightly inflated, with a gentle rightward slant and noticeably variable stroke edges that mimic hand pressure and dry-brush drag. Curves are generous and counters are relatively open for the weight, while terminals tend to be blunt and slightly tapered. Spacing and widths feel uneven in an intentional, handmade way, giving lines a lively rhythm rather than strict uniformity.
This font is well suited to posters, packaging, labels, and branding where a hand-made, ink-worn personality is desirable. It performs best in headlines, short slogans, and spot text, and can add warmth to editorial pull quotes or event graphics when set with comfortable tracking and generous leading.
The overall tone is informal and characterful, evoking hand-painted signage and rough-printed ephemera. Its textured massing reads friendly and mischievous, with a slightly vintage, crafty sensibility that feels more human than polished.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of hand-lettered brush forms while adding a controlled, repeatable distressed texture for consistent display typography. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and a tactile printed feel over geometric precision.
The distressed texture appears as small voids and roughened interiors rather than extreme edge shredding, so the silhouette stays legible at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same rounded, brushy construction, supporting cohesive headline and short-copy use without feeling overly rigid.
