A heavy, hand-drawn sans with rounded forms and intentionally uneven outlines. Strokes are thick and low-contrast, with wobbly curves, softened corners, and occasional bulges that suggest brush or marker pressure. Counters are generally open and simple, while edges show a worn, slightly torn texture that creates a printed-from-ink or stamped look. Spacing feels loose and organic, with subtle per-glyph irregularities that keep lines lively rather than strictly uniform.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the rough outline can be appreciated: posters, event flyers, product packaging, album covers, and merch graphics. It also works well for logos and badges that want a handcrafted, slightly weathered tone. For long body copy, the heavy texture and irregular rhythm may feel busy, so it’s more effective in titles, callouts, and brand accents.
The font communicates a casual, handmade energy with a gritty, imperfect finish. Its rough texture and friendly shapes give it an approachable, crafty feel—more zine-and-poster than corporate—while still reading clearly at display sizes. Overall, it suggests DIY authenticity, informal humor, and a touch of vintage grit.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-lettering with an inked, worn printing character. It prioritizes personality and tactile texture over strict geometric consistency, aiming for a friendly display voice that feels crafted, imperfect, and human.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and compact, while lowercase stays similarly chunky with straightforward, simplified construction. Numerals are bold and rounded, matching the same distressed edge treatment for a cohesive set. The texture is consistent across characters, so the distressed effect reads as a deliberate stylistic layer rather than random noise.
