A chunky, hand-drawn display face with thick strokes, rounded terminals, and visibly irregular contours. The glyphs show a brush/marker-like construction with wobbling outlines, occasional interior scuffing, and uneven ink coverage that creates a worn, stamped feel. Proportions are loose and slightly inconsistent, with variable character widths and simplified, compact forms that keep counters relatively tight. The overall rhythm is lively rather than geometric, with subtle baseline and stroke jitter that reinforces the handmade texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, product labels, stickers, and apparel graphics where the distressed texture can read clearly. It also works well for playful branding, event promos, and social graphics that benefit from a handcrafted, energetic voice.
The font projects an energetic, informal personality—friendly and approachable with a gritty, street-poster edge. Its rough ink texture and imperfect shapes evoke DIY signage, zines, and handcrafted packaging, giving text a spontaneous, human tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-inked look with built-in wear and irregularity, mimicking rough brush lettering or imperfect printing. It prioritizes personality and texture over precision, aiming for expressive display use rather than long-form readability.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar heavy, rounded construction, emphasizing a cohesive marker-drawn look. Numerals match the same brushy, distressed treatment, maintaining consistency across alphanumerics and preserving impact at display sizes.
