A chunky, hand-rendered sans with brush-like strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with uneven contours, small notches, and occasional ink-blob voids that create a mottled texture. Stroke widths fluctuate within each glyph, producing a lively, imperfect rhythm while keeping overall shapes simple and legible. Curves are soft and slightly lumpy, counters tend to be on the smaller side, and spacing feels natural rather than mechanically uniform.
Well-suited to short headlines, posters, packaging, merch graphics, and social content where a tactile, street-print feel is desired. It can work for subheads and short blurbs at moderate sizes, but the built-in texture suggests avoiding very small sizes or low-contrast backgrounds to maintain clarity.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade energy—like marker or brush lettering run through rough printing. Its speckled texture and imperfect edges add attitude and informality, balancing ruggedness with a friendly, approachable tone.
The design appears intended to emulate bold brush or marker lettering with a deliberately worn, distressed imprint. It prioritizes character and impact over pristine geometry, offering a ready-made handmade look for expressive branding and themed display typography.
The texture is baked into the glyphs rather than added as an overlay, so black areas show scattered pinholes and worn spots. Numerals and capitals match the same casual, inked construction, supporting cohesive display use across mixed-case settings.
