A brush-like display face with thick, rounded strokes and a noticeably irregular, inked texture throughout. Letterforms are compact and upright with a hand-drawn rhythm, showing uneven stroke edges, occasional interior streaking, and slightly inconsistent terminals that mimic dry-brush or rough printing. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a spontaneous, handcrafted feel.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where the textured strokes can be appreciated: posters, packaging, merch graphics, social headers, and branding accents. It can work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but the rough interiors and heavy stroke weight are likely to feel busy at small sizes or in dense body text.
The font reads as playful and informal, with a lived-in, slightly messy energy that feels human rather than polished. Its rough texture adds a gritty, crafty character that can suggest DIY culture, street-level authenticity, or whimsical “handmade” charm depending on color and context.
The design appears intended to deliver an energetic, hand-rendered look with deliberate imperfections—capturing the feel of brushed lettering or imperfect ink coverage for expressive, attention-grabbing typography.
The distressed texture is consistent across both uppercase and lowercase, creating a cohesive voice when set in longer phrases. Numerals follow the same chunky, inked construction, making the set feel unified for short headlines and promotional copy.
