A hand-drawn brush style with thick, slightly compressed letterforms and lively stroke modulation. The marks show visible texture and rough, dry-brush edges with occasional interior gaps, creating a worn ink-on-paper feel. Curves are rounded and open, counters are generous, and terminals often end in blunt, tapered touches rather than clean cuts. Overall spacing is fairly tight and the rhythm is bouncy, with small, natural-looking irregularities that keep the texture consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short-to-medium headlines where texture and personality are a feature—posters, packaging, labels, event flyers, and social media graphics. It can also work for themed branding accents or pull quotes, but the distressed brush texture may be too active for long body copy at small sizes.
The font reads as informal and human, balancing friendly rounded shapes with a gritty, distressed surface. It carries a crafty, DIY tone—expressive and approachable—while the rough ink texture adds edge and urgency suitable for themed or poster-like messaging.
Designed to simulate quick marker or brush lettering with an intentionally imperfect, ink-drag texture. The goal appears to be an energetic, handcrafted voice that remains readable while delivering a distinctly distressed, tactile look.
The uppercase set is assertive and compact, while the lowercase maintains a simple, handwritten structure with clear single-storey forms. Numerals follow the same brush logic and remain legible, with texture providing character more than distortion. The distressed effect is integrated into the strokes rather than applied as a uniform overlay, so each glyph feels drawn rather than mechanically weathered.
