A rough, brush-like italic with thick strokes and visibly uneven edges, giving each letter a worn, printed-from-ink texture. Forms are simple and rounded with softened corners, while stroke endings often look slightly blunted or smeared. The rhythm is lively and somewhat irregular, with small variations in width and contour from glyph to glyph that reinforce a handmade feel. Counters tend to be open and generous, helping the heavy shapes stay readable despite the distressed surface.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display text where texture and personality are assets: posters, apparel graphics, labels, café menus, and bold social media headlines. It can also work for brand marks or taglines that want an analog, handmade imprint, especially when paired with cleaner supporting text.
The font conveys a casual, gritty confidence—like hand-painted signage or a well-used stamp. Its slanted, bouncy forms add friendliness and motion, while the rough texture brings a rugged, analog character. Overall it feels expressive and informal rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate bold brush lettering with a deliberately weathered print finish. Its goal is to deliver immediate impact and human warmth while retaining enough clarity for punchy phrases and branding applications.
The distressing appears as consistent edge roughness and occasional interior speckling, which will become more prominent at larger sizes and in high-contrast uses. The numerals share the same brushy texture and slight wobble, maintaining a cohesive, handcrafted tone across text and display settings.
