A heavy, hand-rendered sans with soft, blunted corners and irregular contours that mimic dry-brush or stamped ink. Strokes are thick and slightly lumpy, with rough, mottled edges and occasional interior texture that suggests imperfect coverage. Letterforms are simplified and rounded, with open counters and minimal detail; proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, handmade rhythm. The lowercase is compact with short extenders, and spacing feels naturally uneven in a way that reads as intentional rather than mechanical.
This font suits display applications where texture and personality are an asset—posters, cover art, event promos, packaging, and bold social graphics. It works best at medium to large sizes, where the rough edges and ink-like character remain clear and expressive.
The overall tone is scrappy and approachable, with a gritty, DIY energy. It balances friendliness with a worn, street-poster attitude, giving text a human, improvised voice rather than a polished typographic one.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-painted or roughly printed lettering with a deliberately imperfect finish. Its simplified shapes and consistent wear effects aim to deliver quick impact and a casual, human feel for theme-driven typography.
The distressed texture is consistent across the alphabet and numerals, and it becomes more evident at larger sizes where edge breakup and ink scatter are visible. The numerals share the same chunky, rounded construction, maintaining a cohesive look for display settings.
