A hand-drawn, monoline sans with visibly roughened outlines and uneven stroke edges that mimic worn ink or dry-brush printing. Forms are largely simple and open, but the contours wobble subtly, producing an organic rhythm and slight per-glyph variation in width and proportion. Corners tend to be softened, counters are generously sized, and terminals often look blunt or gently tapered, contributing to an intentionally imperfect, tactile texture across text.
Best suited for display applications where texture is an asset: posters, album/cover art, packaging, badges, and short headlines. It can also work for brief blurbs or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, especially in designs aiming for a handmade or distressed print feel.
The overall tone feels informal and human, with a scrappy, analog energy that reads as crafty and slightly rebellious. Its distressed texture suggests DIY signage, zines, and printmaking, balancing friendliness with a gritty edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, legible skeleton wrapped in a deliberately worn, hand-inked surface—capturing the look of imperfect printing and casual marker lettering while remaining practical for punchy display typography.
In longer text the textured perimeter creates a consistent “printed” grain, while the straightforward construction keeps words recognizable. The irregularity is most noticeable along verticals and bowls, giving the font a lively, non-mechanical color on the page.
