A chunky, inked display face with irregular, brush-like stroke edges and slightly uneven contours that mimic rough print or marker lettering. Forms are compact and generally upright, with rounded terminals and softly squared counters that keep the texture from feeling sharp. Stroke weight stays consistently heavy while small wobble and roughness add a distressed, handcrafted rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Best used at display sizes for posters, packaging callouts, labels, and short headlines where the textured edges can be appreciated. It also suits logos and wordmarks that want a handmade, rustic personality, and works well for merch-style graphics such as stickers or tees.
The overall tone feels casual and human, with a friendly roughness that reads as crafty rather than aggressive. Its worn, imperfect texture suggests DIY production, screen-printed ephemera, or hand-lettered signage, giving text a lively, informal presence.
The design appears intended to recreate the look of bold hand-drawn lettering with deliberate wear and print irregularities, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over geometric precision. It aims to deliver a cohesive, distressed handmade voice for attention-grabbing display typography.
The character set shows noticeable organic variation in curves and joins, producing a slightly bouncy baseline feel even when set on a line. Numerals share the same inky texture and simplified construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings stay cohesive.
