A rough, hand-drawn print with thick, brush-like strokes and pronounced texture along the edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with uneven contours, occasional ink buildup, and slight wobble in stems and bowls that creates a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters tend to be small and sometimes partially closed by heavy strokes, while terminals vary from blunt to tapered, reinforcing the organic, made-by-hand feel. Overall proportions are compact with a tight, punchy silhouette and noticeable variation in character widths.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, album/cover graphics, and bold packaging callouts where texture and personality are an advantage. It can also work for casual event flyers and social graphics, especially when paired with a cleaner companion typeface for body copy.
The font feels raw and expressive, like quick marker or brush lettering made for impact rather than refinement. Its uneven stroke edges and lively shapes give it an informal, human tone that reads as gritty, crafty, and energetic.
Designed to deliver a bold handmade voice with visible brush texture and imperfect outlines, prioritizing character and impact over typographic neutrality. The forms suggest quick, expressive drawing meant to feel authentic and tactile.
The set shows intentional inconsistency in stroke width and edge texture, producing a distressed ink-on-paper effect. Larger sizes emphasize the bristle-like edges and interior gaps, while smaller sizes may lose some counter clarity due to the heavy, textured strokes.
