A chunky, hand-drawn sans with irregular, brushy stroke edges and visible interior texture that reads like dry-ink or rough printing. Letterforms are mostly simple and upright, with rounded corners and slightly wobbly contours; counters tend to be small and uneven, reinforcing the heavy, inked-in feel. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an organic rhythm, while the overall proportions stay fairly compact and sturdy for clear headline presence.
Best suited to display roles where texture and personality are an asset: posters, merch graphics, labels, café menus, and punchy social headlines. It can also work for short blocks of copy in large sizes, but the distressed fill and tight counters suggest avoiding small UI text or long-form reading.
The font conveys a casual, crafty energy with a gritty edge—like hand-painted signage, stamped packaging, or a zine-style title set in thick marker. Its texture and inconsistency add personality and approachability, leaning more fun than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic thick marker or brush lettering with imperfect ink coverage, prioritizing character over precision. Its controlled upright construction keeps words readable while the distress and unevenness provide a handmade, tactile finish.
Texture is present both along outlines and within strokes, which can visually fill in at smaller sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. Numerals and capitals share the same roughened construction, maintaining a consistent handmade tone across mixed-case settings.
