A condensed, hand-drawn display face with rounded, brush-like strokes and visibly roughened edges. Letterforms are built from simplified, somewhat monolinear shapes with occasional swelling at joins and terminals, creating a lightly uneven rhythm. Counters are compact and slightly irregular, and the texture shows speckling and small voids that resemble dry ink or worn printing. Overall spacing is tight and the silhouette stays tall and narrow, reading clearly at larger sizes while keeping a handcrafted, imperfect finish.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, packaging labels, event flyers, café signage, and merch graphics where a tactile, handmade tone is desired. It will be most effective at medium to large sizes where the worn details and edge texture remain legible.
The font conveys an informal, human touch—friendly and slightly gritty, like hand-painted signage or a stamped poster. Its worn ink texture adds a nostalgic, DIY character that feels lively rather than precise.
The design appears intended to mimic casual hand-lettering with a deliberately imperfect inked texture, delivering a compact, punchy voice for attention-grabbing titles and thematic branding.
The distressed interior texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive printed-wear look. The lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey feel in key letters and a compact proportion that supports energetic headlines without looking fussy.
