A slanted, brush-like alphabet with heavy, uneven strokes and visibly roughened edges that mimic dry ink or worn printing. Letterforms are simplified and open, with rounded turns and blunt terminals, while stroke thickness fluctuates within and across glyphs for a lively, hand-rendered rhythm. Proportions are slightly irregular: curves are somewhat lopsided, counters are soft and imperfect, and spacing feels naturally inconsistent in a way that reads as intentional texture rather than strict geometry. Numerals and capitals share the same inky, distressed silhouette, keeping a cohesive, handcrafted presence across the set.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where the textured strokes can be appreciated—posters, apparel and merchandise graphics, labels, café or craft branding, and social media headlines. It can work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but extended body text may feel busy unless set large with extra spacing.
The font conveys an informal, human tone—earthy and energetic, with a slightly rugged edge. Its texture suggests analog making (brush, marker, or rough print), giving text a personable, tactile character that feels more expressive than polished.
The design appears intended to capture a quick, hand-painted or marker-lettered look with purposeful roughness, trading typographic precision for warmth and character. It aims to deliver instant personality and a tactile, analog feel in branding and display contexts.
In continuous text, the slant and stroke wobble create forward motion, while the rough perimeter adds grain at display sizes. The texture can visually accumulate in tight settings, so it benefits from generous tracking or larger point sizes where the distressed contours can breathe.
