A slanted, brush-leaning sans with thick, rounded strokes and noticeably roughened edges. Letterforms are simplified and open, with soft terminals and occasional swelling that suggests marker or dry-brush ink. Texture appears as small chips, specks, and uneven outlines, creating a worn print feel while keeping counters mostly clear. Spacing and widths vary slightly, reinforcing the hand-drawn rhythm; figures share the same textured, rounded construction for consistent color in display sizes.
Works best for short, high-impact copy where the rough texture can read clearly—posters, headlines, packaging labels, stickers, and apparel graphics. It can also add personality to quotes, event promos, and social graphics where a handmade, worn print look is desired.
The overall tone is approachable and lively, with a gritty, handmade character that feels casual rather than formal. Its worn texture adds a vintage, street-level energy—more zine and poster than polished editorial.
Designed to deliver an informal, hand-rendered voice with built-in wear and ink irregularity, giving layouts an instant distressed texture without additional effects. The goal appears to be a legible display face that balances playful rounded forms with a gritty, printed patina.
The texture is strong enough to be a defining feature, especially in curves and at stroke ends, so fine details can soften at smaller sizes. The italic slant and rounded geometry keep the distressed treatment from feeling harsh, making it suitable for friendly, energetic messaging.
