A chunky, rounded sans with a hand-painted feel and noticeably irregular stroke edges. Forms are built from broad, brush-like strokes with occasional blots, nicks, and uneven terminals that create a lively, imperfect silhouette. Counters tend to be open and generous, while curves are soft and slightly wobbly, giving letters a friendly, informal structure. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where its textured strokes and informal shapes can read clearly at larger sizes—posters, packaging fronts, social graphics, signage, and merch. It can also work for playful brand accents (labels, badges, pull quotes) when a handcrafted, imperfect finish is desirable.
The font projects an energetic, approachable tone with a scruffy, analog texture. Its roughened edges and bouncy shapes feel spontaneous and human, suggesting fun, craft, and a lightly rebellious attitude rather than polish or restraint.
Designed to emulate bold hand lettering made with a loaded brush or marker, prioritizing personality and tactile texture over geometric precision. The irregular contours and variable glyph widths appear intended to avoid a mechanical repeat and keep text feeling freshly drawn.
Uppercase has a poster-like presence with simplified construction, while lowercase stays compact and buoyant, keeping words cohesive despite the textured outlines. Numerals match the same brushy weight and irregular finish, making them suitable for display settings where texture is part of the message.
