A rough, dry-brush handwritten print with chunky strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are unconnected and slightly variable in width, with wobbly baselines, uneven stroke terminals, and occasional ink blots that create a distressed edge. Counters tend to be compact and slightly lumpy, while curves and diagonals show natural jitter, giving the set a consistently hand-rendered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best for display settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, flyers, album or podcast artwork, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing headlines. It also suits short UI or social graphics where a handmade, imperfect feel is desired, rather than long body copy.
The overall tone feels scrappy and energetic, with a DIY, grunge-leaning personality. Its rough texture reads informal and expressive rather than refined, lending a friendly, slightly rebellious voice to headlines and short statements.
Designed to mimic marker or brush lettering captured with imperfect ink coverage, emphasizing texture and human variation over geometric consistency. The intention appears to be quick, expressive communication with a gritty, handcrafted finish suitable for impactful display typography.
Capitals have a poster-like presence and the numerals match the same rugged texture, helping mixed-content layouts feel cohesive. The texture can visually fill in at small sizes, so spacing and size choice will strongly influence clarity.
