A rounded, marker-like sans with irregular, wobbly contours and visibly distressed edges. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with soft corners, slightly lumpy curves, and occasional pinched joins that suggest uneven ink flow or rough printing. Counters tend to be compact and imperfectly circular, giving letters a slightly “melted” silhouette; widths vary noticeably across the set, adding an informal rhythm. Numerals follow the same chunky, hand-rendered construction and remain clear at display sizes despite the rough texture.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, event flyers, album/cover art, and expressive branding where texture and personality are desired. It can work well on packaging, stickers, and social graphics, especially when paired with clean supporting type to balance the roughness.
The font feels handcrafted and approachable, with a scrappy, DIY energy. Its distressed texture reads as intentionally imperfect—more zine/photocopy than polished signage—creating a playful, slightly gritty tone that can skew quirky, spooky, or punk depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-drawn lettering reproduced through imperfect processes—marker, stamp, or photocopy—capturing the character of uneven outlines and distressed ink while keeping letterforms legible for bold display use.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, so the distressed character becomes a defining voice rather than an occasional accent. Spacing and shapes appear intentionally irregular, which adds personality in short lines but can make dense paragraphs feel busy.
