A chunky, hand-rendered display face with compact proportions and uneven, brushy stroke endings. Letterforms are mostly monoline in feel with subtly varying weight from stroke to stroke, and a slightly wobbly baseline rhythm that reinforces the handmade construction. Counters tend to be small and rounded, terminals are blunt or softly tapered, and many curves show irregular edges and speckled texture consistent with dry-brush or rough print. The overall spacing is tight and energetic, with lively variation between glyph widths and a sturdy presence in all caps and mixed case.
Best suited to short-form display settings where texture and personality are desired—posters, headlines, event promo, packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics. It also works well for playful branding, café/market signage, and craft-themed social media assets, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed details can be appreciated.
The font projects a playful, crafty tone—casual and approachable rather than formal. Its roughened texture and imperfect geometry add a nostalgic, screen-printed feel, making it read as human, spontaneous, and a bit mischievous.
The design appears intended to capture a bold, handmade look with intentional roughness—like lettering made with a marker or brush and then reproduced through imperfect printing. Its simplified forms prioritize impact and character, while the irregular edges provide a tactile, analog finish.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged, cut-paper/brush aesthetic, with simplified shapes that stay legible despite the distressed edges. Numerals are heavy and friendly, matching the rounded, tactile character of the letters and maintaining strong visibility at display sizes.
