A chunky, marker-like display face with rounded, blobby strokes and noticeably irregular contours. The letterforms show uneven stroke buildup and pitted interior texture, creating a worn, ink-saturated look with subtle gaps and speckling. Terminals are soft and bulbous, curves are slightly lopsided, and proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Counters are generally open but noisy, and spacing feels loose and informal rather than tightly engineered.
Well-suited for short, bold statements in posters, event flyers, social graphics, and packaging where a handmade, rough-printed feel is desirable. It can also work for album art, zines, and product labels that benefit from an intentionally imperfect, tactile texture.
The overall tone is playful and scrappy, combining kidlike friendliness with a gritty, distressed edge. It reads as casual and approachable, with a DIY energy that feels imperfect on purpose—more sketchbook than polished branding.
The design appears intended to mimic thick hand lettering made with a marker or brush pen, then distressed to suggest rough printing or worn ink. The goal is expressive impact and personality over strict uniformity, delivering a fun display voice with gritty texture.
Legibility holds up best at larger sizes where the interior texture reads as character rather than clutter. Numerals match the same rounded, irregular construction, and the set maintains consistent “inked” weight while allowing noticeable shape variation across letters.
