A hand-drawn, marker-like face with uneven stroke edges and visibly rough texture throughout the outlines. Letterforms are generally upright with modest modulation from pressure and retraced strokes, producing irregular counters and slightly wobbly curves. Proportions run on the narrower side with compact, simple construction, while spacing and glyph widths vary enough to keep the rhythm lively rather than rigid. Terminals are blunt and imperfect, and round shapes (like O/C/G) read as loosely sketched circles with occasional overlaps or darkened joins.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture is an asset: posters, flyers, packaging accents, album/cover art, and expressive headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when ample size and spacing preserve the gritty stroke detail.
The overall tone feels informal and human, like quick lettering made with a felt-tip pen on paper. Its distressed texture adds a gritty, DIY character that can read as zine-like, crafty, or lightly edgy without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, imperfect hand lettering with a deliberately worn, inked-in texture, prioritizing personality and energy over typographic neutrality. It aims to add an organic, analog feel to contemporary layouts that need a casual, crafted voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent drawn texture, with single-storey forms and simplified details that favor immediacy over refinement. Numerals match the same rough, retraced construction, helping mixed text maintain a cohesive, handmade look.
