A rough, inked text face with visibly irregular contours and soft, worn-looking edges, as if printed from a slightly degraded stamp or brush pen. Strokes show natural wobble and occasional thickening, with subtly inconsistent joins that keep the texture lively. Letterforms stay broadly legible and upright, mixing simple, open counters with slightly condensed curves and a gently uneven baseline rhythm. Numerals and lowercase follow the same hand-rendered logic, with small variations in stroke endings and occasional flare-like terminals.
Works well for display settings where texture is an asset: posters, book or zine covers, themed packaging, labels, and short headlines. It can also serve for pull quotes or section headers when you want a handcrafted, imperfect imprint rather than a polished typographic voice.
The overall tone feels handmade and timeworn, suggesting tactile materials like ink on paper or rough letterpress. Its casual irregularity reads friendly and characterful rather than aggressive, lending a quirky, narrative quality that can feel rustic or lightly spooky depending on context.
Likely designed to capture a distressed, hand-inked impression that feels printed and human, adding personality and atmosphere to titles and branding. The consistent texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests an emphasis on cohesive, usable display typography rather than purely decorative letterforms.
In continuous text the texture becomes a prominent part of the color, so spacing and line breaks matter more than with a clean text face. The most convincing results will come from letting the natural unevenness show—avoiding overly tight tracking and giving lines a bit of air.
