A hand-drawn display face with thick, brush-like strokes and visibly uneven edges. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with rounded corners and soft terminals that suggest a marker or paintbrush. Strokes show natural wobble and internal roughness, creating a worn, inked texture rather than clean vector outlines. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall rhythm feels lively and irregular while remaining consistently constructed across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium text in applications that benefit from a handmade, textured voice—posters, product packaging, labels, event flyers, and social media graphics. It can also work for playful editorial pull quotes or signage where a casual, human feel is desired and the texture can be appreciated.
The font conveys an informal, approachable tone with a scrappy, tactile energy. Its roughened texture and bouncy shapes read as playful and crafty, leaning toward DIY, zine, and hand-lettered poster culture rather than corporate polish.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-lettering made with a brush or marker, preserving stroke variation, rough fill, and irregular contours to produce a tactile printed look. It prioritizes personality and impact over geometric precision, aiming for expressive, attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a coherent, simplified structure, with round forms (O, C, G) emphasizing the organic brush character. Numerals follow the same chunky, textured treatment, helping mixed text retain a unified voice. The distress is integrated into the strokes (not just edge noise), which makes the texture noticeable even at larger sizes.
