A chunky, hand-drawn sans with rounded, slightly inflated forms and visibly irregular contours. Strokes look like they were made with a marker or brush, leaving subtle waviness, occasional nicks, and uneven fill that creates a worn, ink-pressed texture. Counters are generally open and simple, terminals are soft rather than sharp, and overall spacing and character widths vary enough to keep a lively, handcrafted rhythm while remaining readable in text.
Best suited for display settings where texture and personality are desirable—posters, merch graphics, playful packaging, social media graphics, and short headlines. It can also work for brief blurbs or pull quotes when you want an intentionally rough, handmade tone, but the distressed detailing may become busy at very small sizes.
The font conveys an informal, mischievous energy—more zine and sketchbook than polished branding. Its roughened edges and inky texture suggest analog printing, DIY signage, and a deliberately imperfect personality that feels friendly and expressive.
Likely designed to mimic hand-lettered marker or brush forms with an intentionally worn print texture, prioritizing character and spontaneity over geometric precision. The goal appears to be a bold, approachable display voice that feels analog and DIY while staying broadly legible.
In longer lines, the texture becomes part of the color of the paragraph, with small irregularities creating a speckled, tactile presence. The numerals share the same rounded, hand-cut feel, making them blend naturally with the letters rather than appearing mechanically uniform.
