A heavy, hand-rendered display face with softly irregular outlines and a brushy, inked texture. Strokes are thick and low-contrast with rounded terminals, and edges show consistent wobble and slight fill variation that reads like stamped or marker lettering. The proportions are compact with modest counters and simplified shapes; curves are slightly lumpy and joins are blunt, creating an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Numerals and letters share the same rugged, filled-in look, keeping a cohesive, poster-ready silhouette.
Well-suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and short branding phrases where texture is a feature rather than a distraction. It can also work on packaging or label-style designs that benefit from a handmade, printed feel, especially when paired with cleaner body text.
The overall tone feels informal and handmade, with a playful roughness that suggests DIY printing, street posters, or crafty signage. Its irregular texture adds personality and a lightly rebellious, grunge-leaning energy without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to simulate expressive, imperfect ink application—somewhere between brush lettering and worn print—delivering a friendly but gritty display voice for themed, attention-grabbing titles.
Readability holds up best at medium-to-large sizes where the rough edges and uneven inking can be appreciated; at small sizes the counters and tight interior spaces may start to close in. The caps have a sturdy, blocky presence, while the lowercase maintains the same chunky texture and casual cadence.
