A rough, hand-drawn print face with visibly textured strokes and irregular contours that mimic dry brush or marker ink on paper. Letterforms lean slightly and show inconsistent stroke endings, with tapered, ragged terminals and occasional blots that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with slightly shifting widths and a gently wandering baseline; counters are often rounded and organic rather than geometric. Numerals follow the same drawn construction, keeping the set cohesive while retaining the uneven, handmade texture.
Works well for short to medium-length copy where a handmade, tactile feel is desirable—such as posters, cover lines, rustic packaging, labels, and expressive headlines. It can also support themed materials (craft, outdoors, vintage-inspired) when set with generous size and spacing to let the texture breathe.
The overall tone feels informal and human, with a weathered, analog character that suggests craft, spontaneity, and a bit of mischief. Its roughness reads as expressive rather than polished, giving text a gritty, personable voice.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-rendered lettering, prioritizing texture, gesture, and organic variation over typographic uniformity. The consistent rough stroke language across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests an intention to provide a cohesive “drawn” voice for display typography.
In longer passages the texture and edge noise become a defining feature, producing a strong “ink on paper” presence. The irregularity adds charm at display sizes, while tighter settings may look busy where strokes crowd and textures accumulate.
