A textured, hand-rendered roman with irregular stroke edges and slightly blotchy ink coverage. The forms are mostly upright with simple, sturdy construction, but with noticeable unevenness in curve smoothness, joins, and terminals that creates a broken-in, printed-by-hand feel. Counters stay generally open and proportions are straightforward, while individual glyph widths and stroke shapes vary enough to keep the rhythm lively and imperfect. Numerals and capitals match the same roughened outline treatment, maintaining a consistent distressed surface across the set.
Best suited for display settings where texture and attitude are assets—posters, flyers, packaging labels, merch graphics, and editorial callouts. It can work for short-to-medium passages when set large enough for the rough edges to remain clear, making it a good choice for headlines, pull quotes, and themed branding applications.
The overall tone is scrappy and informal, suggesting tactile ink, worn stamping, or rough screen printing rather than polished typography. It reads as friendly and a bit rebellious, with an arts-and-crafts authenticity that adds character and grit to short messages.
Likely designed to provide an approachable, hand-printed look that communicates imperfection and materiality. The consistent rough outline treatment suggests an intent to mimic worn ink or DIY production while keeping letterforms familiar and readable.
Spacing and silhouette consistency look intentionally loose: repeated verticals and bowls do not align perfectly, and curves show slight wobble that enhances the analog texture. The rough perimeter is more pronounced than any internal distressing, so the character comes primarily from the edges rather than cutouts.
