A heavy, hand-drawn sans with chunky strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are simple and approachable, but intentionally irregular: edges wobble, counters vary slightly, and stroke thickness subtly fluctuates as if made with a marker or brush. Proportions are compact with broad bowls and short joins, and spacing feels loose and organic rather than mechanically even. Numerals follow the same blunt, slightly misshapen construction for a cohesive, homemade texture.
Works best for short display settings where texture is an asset: posters, packaging accents, album/cover art, event flyers, labels, and social graphics. It can also suit playful headings or pull quotes where a handmade, imperfect voice is desired over clean neutrality.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a scruffy, inky texture that reads as craft-made and a bit rebellious. It evokes DIY signage, zines, and rough-printed ephemera—friendly rather than aggressive, but clearly not polished or corporate.
Likely designed to provide a bold, hand-rendered voice with deliberate imperfections—capturing the look of marker lettering or rough press output while staying legible for expressive display typography.
At text sizes the uneven edges create lively color and texture, while the simplified shapes keep words readable. The distressed contouring is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving a unified ‘printed by hand’ feel.
