A heavy, right-leaning display face with chunky, rounded letterforms and a hand-drawn, brushlike construction. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation and slightly unstable contours, with roughened edges and occasional interior speckling that suggests worn ink or distressed printing. Counters are generally open and simple, while terminals tend to be blunt and softly tapered. Overall spacing feels lively and uneven in a controlled way, reinforcing an energetic, handmade rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography where texture and personality are desirable: posters, headlines, packaging fronts, sticker graphics, apparel prints, and branded display copy. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or titles where a casual, handcrafted feel is appropriate.
The font conveys an upbeat, informal attitude with a gritty, tactile edge—like bold marker lettering that’s been stamped, scuffed, or weathered. Its friendly roundness keeps it approachable, while the texture adds attitude and a sense of motion.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, hand-rendered voice, while adding a distressed finish for a more tactile, lived-in look. The strong slant and brushy modulation emphasize energy and immediacy, aiming for attention-grabbing display use rather than quiet text setting.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent slant and weight, creating a cohesive forward-driving texture in lines of text. Numerals are similarly stout and slightly irregular, matching the type’s poster-like presence and distressed surface character.
