A bold, marker-like sans with soft, rounded forms and heavily irregular edges that mimic dry brush or rough printing. Strokes stay largely monolinear but show frequent wobble, nicks, and slight ink pooling, creating a textured silhouette around each letter. Proportions lean compact and sturdy, with simple geometry and open counters; terminals are blunt and uneven rather than sharply cut. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly inconsistent, emphasizing a hand-rendered, distressed finish over mechanical uniformity.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text in display contexts such as posters, packaging callouts, labels, event graphics, and merchandise where a handmade, worn texture adds character. It can also work for casual brand accents and social graphics when a friendly, imperfect voice is desired.
The texture and uneven stroke behavior give the font an informal, handmade tone that feels approachable and energetic. Its rugged edges suggest DIY craft, zines, and screen-printed ephemera, with a playful grit rather than an aggressive industrial feel.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-drawn lettering with the imperfections of ink drag and rough reproduction, delivering a tactile, human presence without relying on script forms. It prioritizes personality and surface texture while keeping letterforms straightforward and legible for display use.
In paragraph settings the rough contour remains prominent, so the face reads best when the texture is meant to be part of the message. The numerals match the same chunky, imperfect construction, keeping a cohesive look across mixed content.
