A chunky, hand-drawn display face with rounded, soft-cornered forms and visibly rough, brush-like edges. Strokes show irregular thickness, subtle wobble, and textured interiors that resemble dry marker or inky overprint. Counters are generally open and simple, with slightly uneven curves and terminals that feel blunted rather than sharply cut. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, made-by-hand rhythm while keeping the baseline and vertical stance stable.
Best suited for short-form display use such as posters, headlines, product labels, and social media graphics where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work for playful packaging or event materials, especially when paired with cleaner body text. For long passages, the heavy texture and irregular edges may reduce comfort and clarity at smaller sizes.
The font conveys a casual, crafty attitude with a gritty, imperfect finish. Its rough texture reads as approachable and playful rather than aggressive, suggesting DIY signage, sketchbook lettering, or worn print. The uneven ink character adds energy and personality, making text feel human and spontaneous.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-lettered, brushy black ink with natural inconsistencies and a deliberately distressed finish. It prioritizes character and tactile presence over strict geometric uniformity, aiming for a lively, handcrafted voice that still holds together as a cohesive display alphabet.
Capitals are sturdy and attention-grabbing, while lowercase retains the same textured construction and simplified shapes for a cohesive set. Numerals share the same roughened, hand-rendered look, making them suitable for display contexts where consistency of texture matters more than strict typographic precision.
