A rough, hand-rendered text face with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The outlines are intentionally uneven, with ragged edges and slight wobble that mimic dry-brush or worn-print texture. Proportions are compact and straightforward, with generally open counters and simple, legible construction across caps and lowercase. Spacing reads relaxed and somewhat inconsistent in a natural way, adding to the handmade rhythm without sacrificing basic readability.
Well-suited for display text where texture is a feature: posters, covers, event graphics, packaging, and editorial or zine-style layouts. It can also work for short UI labels or pull quotes when a casual, imperfect voice is desired, but it will read best at moderate-to-large sizes where the distressed edges can be appreciated.
The overall tone is gritty and informal, like a quickly lettered sign or a well-used stamped label. Its texture and irregularity give it a human, approachable feel, leaning playful and quirky rather than polished or corporate.
Likely intended to deliver an authentic, imperfect printed or hand-inked look while keeping letterforms simple enough for practical headline and short-text use. The design emphasizes texture and human variability over geometric precision to add character quickly in themed graphics.
Uppercase forms stay relatively plain and sturdy, while lowercase introduces more personality through uneven bowls and gently shifting stroke widths created by the distressed edge. Numerals follow the same roughened treatment and remain clear at a glance, reinforcing the font’s cohesive, worn-in character.
