A chunky, hand-rendered display face with brush-like strokes and visibly irregular edges. The letterforms are rounded and slightly right-leaning, with variable stroke thickness and occasional ink-like blobs and gaps that create a worn, textured interior. Counters are generally open and generously sized, while terminals appear soft and smudged rather than sharply cut. Overall spacing and widths feel uneven in a natural, handwritten way, reinforcing an intentionally imperfect rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for display settings where texture is an asset: posters, bold headlines, packaging callouts, sticker designs, and social graphics. It also fits merch and album/cover art that benefits from a hand-printed or rough-brush vibe. For longer text, larger sizes and ample line spacing help maintain clarity.
The texture and wobble give the font a DIY, scrappy energy that reads friendly and approachable rather than formal. Its distressed, inky finish suggests zines, posters, and handmade signage, adding character and a bit of rebellious grit to short statements.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering or thick marker writing that has been imperfectly printed or scanned, preserving the artifacts of ink and paper. It prioritizes personality and tactility over precision, offering a lively distressed look for expressive, attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent marker/brush personality, with simplified shapes and rounded joins that keep the texture from becoming overly harsh. Numerals match the same rough stroke behavior and remain legible, though the distressed fill makes the design most at home at larger sizes.
