A scratchy, hand-rendered text face with irregular stroke edges and slightly wobbly contours that mimic pen or marker on paper. Letterforms are mostly simple and open, with rounded bowls and occasional angular joins, but the outlines stay intentionally uneven and textured throughout. Spacing and widths feel loosely controlled, producing a lively rhythm; counters remain clear and readable while the distressed perimeter adds a rough print-like patina. Numerals follow the same casual construction, with visibly varied curves and terminals that reinforce the handmade texture.
Well-suited for display text where a handmade, distressed feel is desired—posters, book and zine covers, album artwork, packaging, and branded graphics with a DIY or gritty edge. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or headings where the textured outline adds character without overwhelming legibility.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a raw, imperfect energy that suggests notes, DIY signage, or worn lettering. Its roughness reads more playful than aggressive, giving text a quirky, personal voice and a lightly gritty atmosphere.
The design appears intended to recreate the immediacy of quick hand lettering while adding a consistent distressed contour for visual personality. It prioritizes expressive texture and human irregularity over mechanical precision, aiming to give type a drawn, tactile presence.
Texture is carried by jagged, fluctuating outlines rather than heavy blotting, so the color on the page stays relatively airy. The mixed straight-and-curved stroke behavior and small inconsistencies in alignment contribute to an intentionally unpolished, scribbled character that remains legible in continuous text.
