A rough, hand-drawn display face with bumpy, irregular contours and subtly wavering strokes that feel like ink pressed through a worn stencil or stamped from a distressed plate. The forms are mostly upright with simple, single-story lowercase and compact counters, but the outlines stay intentionally uneven, giving every letter a slightly different silhouette. Terminals are blunt and organic rather than crisp, and the overall rhythm reads tight and textural, with small fluctuations in width and stroke edge creating a lively, imperfect color on the page.
Best suited to display settings where texture is a feature: posters, headlines, packaging accents, album/episode titles, and illustrated or genre-forward covers. It can work for short bursts of text or pull quotes when you want a deliberately imperfect, hand-inked presence, rather than long-form reading.
The texture and wobble give the font an offbeat, mischievous tone—part playful, part eerie—suggesting DIY craft, oddball humor, and a lightly haunted storybook vibe. It feels more like a character voice than a neutral typographic tool, with imperfections that read as intentional personality.
The design appears intended to inject deliberate irregularity and surface texture into otherwise familiar letterforms, producing a distinctive, one-off voice. It aims to feel handmade and slightly weathered, prioritizing character and atmosphere over typographic neutrality.
In the sample text, the distressed edges remain prominent at larger sizes and create a mottled, noisy typographic color that can visually “fizz” in dense lines. The numerals and capitals carry the same roughened treatment, helping headings and short phrases keep a cohesive, stamped look.
