A heavy, hand-drawn display face with thick, ink-like strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are rounded and slightly bouncy, with a variable stroke edge that suggests brush or marker pressure and occasional pooled ink. Counters and terminals are inconsistent by design, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm, and widths fluctuate noticeably from glyph to glyph. The overall texture reads as rough and organic while remaining clear at display sizes.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and social graphics where a bold handmade texture can carry the design. It also fits product packaging, café/food branding, stickers, and event collateral that benefits from an approachable, DIY feel. Use generous tracking and comfortable line spacing when setting longer lines to keep the texture from visually clumping.
The font conveys an informal, playful tone with a scrappy, lived-in energy. Its roughened ink texture feels crafty and spontaneous, like hand-lettering made for posters or packaging rather than polished corporate typography. The wobble and blotting add character and a mildly rebellious, DIY attitude.
Likely designed to emulate bold hand-lettered signage with intentionally imperfect edges and inky artifacts, prioritizing personality and texture over strict consistency. The goal appears to be a friendly, attention-getting display style that feels crafted and spontaneous.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same chunky, rounded construction, and the numerals match the same hand-rendered texture and uneven stroke behavior. In longer text samples, the strong color and textured edges create a dense, attention-grabbing word shape, making it best suited to short to medium bursts rather than continuous reading.
