A heavy, rounded sans with a brush-and-ink build and visibly irregular contours. Strokes vary subtly in thickness with occasional flattened terminals and small notches, creating a printed/painted texture rather than clean vector edges. Counters are generally open and simple, spacing is lively and slightly inconsistent, and the overall silhouette stays sturdy even where edges fray. Numerals share the same chunky construction and distressed perimeter, keeping texture consistent across the set.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is an asset: posters, flyers, packaging, menu headers, album/cover art, and bold social graphics. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but the rough edges and lively spacing are more effective at larger sizes than in long-form text.
The texture and wobble suggest a handmade, gritty attitude—casual and energetic rather than refined. It reads like stamped signage or a quick brush mark, giving headlines a rugged, street-level immediacy with a slightly whimsical bounce.
Designed to deliver a bold, handmade look with built-in wear and ink scatter, evoking imperfect printing and brush lettering. The intention appears to be high-impact display typography that feels tactile and human, trading precision for character and atmosphere.
The distressed treatment is most noticeable along outer edges and at joins, where small chips and tapering give a worn, analog feel. Round letters stay full and stable, helping maintain legibility despite the roughness; the overall rhythm leans friendly and informal.
