A rough, hand-rendered display face with uneven stroke edges and a dry, inked texture that creates subtle blotting and chiseled corners. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified, chunky silhouettes and slightly irregular curves, giving the alphabet a lively, human cadence. Counters are generally open and legible, while terminals and joins show purposeful wobble and occasional thickened spots, as if printed from a worn stamp or drawn with a fraying marker. Figures share the same rugged treatment, with rounded shapes that feel cut or brushed rather than mechanically drawn.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where the rough edge detail can be appreciated: posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and expressive branding. It can also suit book or album covers and thematic graphics that benefit from a handmade, worn-print impression.
The overall tone is earthy and informal, suggesting handmade craft, worn printing, and a lightly mischievous energy. It feels approachable rather than severe, with a storybook or folk-poster spirit that can swing from cozy to gritty depending on setting and color.
Designed to deliver an intentionally imperfect, tactile look that mimics brushy lettering or distressed print, adding character and atmosphere to otherwise simple, readable forms. The goal appears to be strong personality with straightforward shapes that stay recognizable even with heavy texturing.
The texture is consistent across upper- and lowercase, so the distressed effect reads as a core stylistic feature rather than incidental noise. The roughness is most noticeable at larger sizes, where edge detail becomes part of the visual personality.
