A hand-drawn, marker-like sans with heavy strokes, irregular edges, and frequent interior scuffing that reads like dry-brush ink. Letterforms are mostly simple and monoline in construction, but the stroke boundaries wobble and vary, creating lively texture and visible “wear” inside counters and along stems. Shapes are generally compact and vertical, with rounded terminals and uneven joins; counters can be slightly pinched or off-center, enhancing the handmade rhythm. Spacing appears somewhat inconsistent by design, contributing to an informal, hand-rendered cadence in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, flyers, merch graphics, and editorial callouts. It also works well for branding that aims for a handmade or rugged personality, especially at larger sizes where the interior wear and rough contours remain legible.
The overall tone is scrappy and expressive, combining a crafty, homemade feel with a slightly grungy edge. It suggests zines, hand-lettered posters, and rough-stamped graphics—casual and energetic rather than refined or corporate.
The design appears intended to simulate bold hand lettering made with a worn marker or dry brush, prioritizing tactile texture and expressive irregularity over typographic precision. Its consistent roughness across letters and figures suggests it was built to deliver an immediate, characterful “printed by hand” look in display applications.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent rough-ink texture, with lowercase showing similarly chunky bowls and simple, upright construction. Numerals match the same distressed fill and irregular outline, maintaining cohesion for display settings where texture is part of the voice.
