A heavy, brush-painted display face with irregular, roughened contours and occasional ink-like blobs and voids. Strokes are thick and uneven, with soft corners and slightly wobbly geometry that keeps counters open but imperfect. The overall rhythm is lively and handmade, with noticeable variation in character widths and a compact lowercase that sits low relative to the uppercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, flyers, album/cover art, packaging callouts, and bold social graphics where texture is a feature. It can also work for playful branding accents or labels, especially when you want a handcrafted, gritty tone rather than clean readability over long passages.
The texture and uneven stroke edges give it a raw, scrappy energy—more DIY and rebellious than polished. It reads friendly and informal at a glance, with a distinctly messy, tactile feel reminiscent of paint or stamped ink.
Designed to capture a distressed hand-painted aesthetic with strong silhouette and energetic irregularity, prioritizing personality and texture over typographic refinement. The letterforms aim for immediate impact and an intentionally imperfect, analog look.
The distressed texture is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive, printed-by-hand look. Large sizes emphasize the brush grain and edge breakup, while smaller sizes may start to merge into a dense silhouette due to the thick strokes and internal irregularities.
