A chunky, hand-drawn display face with thick strokes and irregular, textured edges that mimic a worn marker or rough brush. Letterforms are built from simple, rounded structures with slightly flattened terminals and inconsistent stroke boundaries, creating a lively, imperfect silhouette. Curves (O, C, G) feel blobby and organic, while straight strokes (E, F, L, T) wobble subtly, reinforcing an analog, stamped/inked impression. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving lines of text a loose, animated rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, event flyers, product packaging, sticker designs, and merchandise graphics. It also works well for punchy headings or pull quotes in editorial layouts when a handmade, distressed note is needed.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a scruffy, DIY attitude that reads as approachable rather than refined. Its roughened outlines add a gritty, street-level flavor, while the rounded forms keep it friendly and humorous.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-rendered lettering reproduced through rough printing or imperfect inking, prioritizing character and tactile texture over geometric precision. Its simplified shapes and heavy color aim for quick visual impact and an unmistakably handcrafted presence.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged construction, with simple single-storey forms where applicable and a deliberately imperfect baseline feel. Numerals match the heavy, hand-inked texture, maintaining a consistent dark color on the page with occasional pinched joins and softened corners.
