A rough, hand-rendered print face with dry-brush texture and irregular edges throughout. Strokes show natural wobble and pressure variation, producing slightly tapered terminals and occasional ink breaks that read as deliberate distressing. Proportions are compact with lively, inconsistent letter widths and loose baseline discipline, giving the alphabet a sketchy, human cadence. Shapes lean toward simple, open constructions, while counters and joins remain intentionally uneven for a drawn-on-paper feel.
This font works best at display sizes where the textured stroke edges and handmade wobble are legible and intentional. It suits posters, cover titling, themed packaging, and short expressive copy where a rough, crafted voice is desired rather than typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, like marker or brush lettering used for quick notes, props, or lo-fi graphics. Its uneven rhythm and textured strokes feel casual and expressive, adding personality rather than polish. The look suggests an artsy, slightly spooky or adventurous energy suitable for informal display.
The design appears intended to emulate quick hand-painted or marker-written block letters with visible texture and imperfection, prioritizing character and immediacy over strict consistency. Its forms aim to deliver a distinctive, handcrafted imprint suitable for attention-grabbing titles and expressive branding moments.
Capitals have a bold, poster-like presence, while lowercase stays compact and slightly irregular, reinforcing the hand-done character in running text. Numerals match the same distressed stroke quality, keeping a cohesive, DIY texture across letters and figures.
