A hand-drawn, all-caps-and-lowercase style with thick, brush-like strokes and visibly rough, uneven edges. Letterforms are generally upright but intentionally inconsistent, with slight wobble, variable stroke width within a glyph, and occasional notches or interior texture that suggests dry ink or rough printing. Counters are open and simple, terminals are blunt and organic, and spacing reads slightly loose and uneven in a way that reinforces the handmade rhythm. Figures share the same roughened construction, with simplified shapes and an intentionally imperfect outline.
Best suited for display applications where the rough, inked character can be appreciated—posters, titles, packaging callouts, social graphics, and branding that leans handmade or vintage. It can work for short bursts of copy or punchy subheads, but reads most clearly when given generous size and breathing room.
The font conveys an informal, tactile mood—like marker or brush lettering pressed quickly onto paper. Its distressed texture adds a gritty, DIY attitude while the rounded, uncomplicated shapes keep it friendly and approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to simulate quick, hand-rendered brush/marker lettering with authentic wear and print irregularities. It prioritizes personality and surface texture over typographic precision, aiming to add immediacy and a crafted feel to modern layouts.
In text, the irregular stroke edges and shifting widths create strong texture and movement, making the face feel lively at larger sizes. The distressed details are prominent enough to become a key visual feature, so the overall color can look noisy if set too small or too tightly tracked.
