A heavy, hand-rendered display face with thick, rounded forms and visibly uneven contours. Strokes appear brushy and ink-loaded, creating bumpy edges, small nicks, and occasional interior texture that reads like rough printing. Terminals are soft rather than sharp, counters are compact, and spacing varies slightly from glyph to glyph, producing an irregular, organic rhythm across words. Capitals are sturdy and simplified, while the lowercase keeps the same chunky construction with slightly more bounce in shapes and widths.
Best used at display sizes where the distressed edge and ink texture can be appreciated—posters, bold headlines, event graphics, packaging, stickers, and short branding phrases. It also works well for merchandise and social graphics that benefit from a loud, handmade look, but is less suited to long-form text where the heavy, irregular rhythm can become tiring.
The font conveys a raw, tactile energy—casual, messy, and intentionally imperfect. Its chunky silhouettes and distressed edges feel bold and approachable, with a hint of scrappy DIY attitude suited to expressive, non-corporate messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic thick marker or brush lettering with worn or rough-printed edges, prioritizing impact and personality over precision. It aims to deliver a bold, tactile presence that feels handmade and slightly weathered, while remaining readable in short bursts.
Numbers share the same thick, rounded construction and rough perimeter, staying highly legible while keeping the handmade texture. The overall texture is consistent across the set, so the distressed effect reads as a deliberate stylistic layer rather than random degradation.
