A hand-drawn, brush-pen style with visibly uneven stroke edges, occasional dry-brush texture, and slightly wobbly outlines that keep the forms lively. Letter shapes are mostly simple and open, with rounded bowls and irregular terminals that sometimes taper or blunt as if lifted from paper. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, and the numerals show the same sketchy, inked construction, with a few characters featuring looped or scribbled interior strokes that enhance the roughened look.
Works best where a handmade, distressed voice is desired—display settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, event flyers, and book or album covers. It can also add personality to short pull quotes or labels, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for longer reading.
The font reads like quick marker lettering—informal, energetic, and a bit mischievous. Its rough texture and imperfect rhythm suggest a DIY, zine-like attitude that feels friendly rather than harsh, making it suitable for expressive, characterful messaging.
Likely designed to capture the spontaneity of hand-lettered brush writing while preserving a legible, all-purpose alphabet and numerals. The controlled irregularity and textured edges aim to deliver an authentic, printed-from-paper feel for expressive display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-rendered voice, with noticeable per-glyph idiosyncrasies that emphasize authenticity over uniformity. The texture is most apparent along curves and joins, where stroke overlap creates darker spots and small wiggles that add to the distressed, analog feel.
