A heavy, hand-rendered display face with thick strokes and soft, irregular contours. Letterforms are built from simplified, rounded shapes with noticeably roughened edges and occasional bumps that suggest textured ink or a worn stamp. Counters are generally small and somewhat inconsistent, and curves appear slightly lumpy rather than geometric. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal rhythm while remaining legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, headlines, stickers, and packaging where the rough edge and chunky silhouettes can read clearly. It also works well for music artwork, event flyers, and social graphics that benefit from an informal, hand-printed feel.
The overall tone feels scrappy and energetic, with a DIY, street-level roughness. Its softened, inky irregularities read as playful and approachable rather than aggressive, evoking handmade signage, zines, and casual marker lettering with a distressed finish.
Likely intended to deliver a strongly tactile, imperfect look that mimics brush or stamped ink, adding personality and grit to display typography. The design prioritizes expressive texture and bold shapes to create immediate impact in themed and illustrative applications.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with rounded terminals and a subtly jittery silhouette. The design favors bold silhouettes over fine detail, so the distressed edges become a key visual feature; at small sizes the counters and texture may start to close up.
