A rough, hand-rendered sans with brush-like strokes and visibly uneven edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with a slightly compressed feel, and stroke widths fluctuate subtly as if drawn with a dry marker or loaded brush. Counters are simple and open, terminals are blunt and sometimes tapered, and the baseline and cap-height alignment feel intentionally imperfect, creating a lively rhythm. The overall construction stays legible, but the outlines retain a raw, textured finish rather than smooth curves.
Best suited for short to medium-length settings where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, craft branding, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can also work for quotes or subheads when set with generous spacing and solid contrast against the background.
The font communicates an informal, human tone—confident but unpolished—suggesting hand-made signage, quick notes, or DIY packaging. Its distressed texture adds grit and spontaneity, giving text a friendly, slightly rebellious energy without becoming chaotic.
Designed to mimic quickly brushed or marker-drawn lettering with a worn, textured edge, prioritizing character and immediacy over typographic polish. The intention appears to be a versatile, legible distressed hand style that adds a tactile, analog feel to contemporary layouts.
Uppercase forms read bold and poster-ready, while lowercase is simpler and more handwritten in feel, with single-storey shapes and modest ascenders/descenders. Numerals match the same rough stroke behavior and keep a straightforward, utilitarian style suited to casual labeling.
