A chunky, hand-rendered display face with soft, rounded terminals and visibly uneven stroke edges that mimic heavy ink or marker on absorbent paper. The letterforms are simplified and slightly blobby, with gentle wobble in verticals and curves and small variations in stroke thickness. Spacing and widths feel irregular in an intentional way, giving lines a lively, textured rhythm while keeping counters mostly open and readable at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where the textured edges can read clearly—such as posters, product packaging, stickers, and expressive headlines. It can also work for branding accents or pull quotes when a handmade, imperfect texture is desired, but will feel noisy in long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is informal and humorous, with a DIY, zine-like energy that feels friendly rather than aggressive. Its rough ink texture and imperfect outlines add a tactile, human quality that suggests spontaneity and playful attitude.
The design appears intended to capture the look of bold hand lettering with worn, ink-bleed edges—prioritizing character and texture over geometric precision. Its irregular rhythm and rounded, simplified shapes aim for approachable impact and an intentionally rough, printed-by-hand aesthetic.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy and poster-ready, while the lowercase has a more handwritten cadence, especially in rounded letters and looping shapes. Numerals follow the same inked, uneven logic, keeping a cohesive, analog feel across the set.
