A compact, heavy sans with a distinctly hand-inked texture. Strokes are thick and slightly irregular, with softened corners and subtly uneven edges that read like a marker or brush pressed into paper. The forms lean forward with a steady slant, and curves are rounded rather than geometric, giving counters a blobby, organic feel. Spacing and widths vary modestly between glyphs, reinforcing the informal, drawn quality while keeping an overall consistent rhythm.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and event promotions where bold personality matters. It also works well for playful branding, stickers, and social graphics, especially when a handmade or vintage-printed look is desired.
The font feels lively and approachable, with a bold, informal voice that suggests handmade signage or comic titling. Its inky roughness and forward motion add energy and a slightly mischievous character, leaning more fun than formal.
Likely designed to provide a bold, compact display face with a hand-rendered feel—combining simple sans structures with brushy texture and a consistent slant for energetic, informal titling.
The texture is most visible along vertical stems and terminals, where edges look lightly distressed rather than crisp. Numerals and capitals carry the same chunky, inked construction as the lowercase, helping maintain a cohesive tone in short display settings.
