A chunky, hand-rendered display face with brush-like strokes and visibly irregular edges. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with rounded terminals and occasional flattened ends that feel stamped or roughly inked. Stroke weight stays broadly consistent, while counters and joins vary subtly, creating a lively rhythm and a lightly blotched texture. The uppercase is tall and assertive, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable structure with single-storey forms and simple, open counters.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and casual branding. It can work well for merch and social graphics where a handmade, slightly rugged look helps the message feel approachable and energetic.
The overall tone is informal and tactile, combining a friendly handmade feel with a rough, worn imprint. It suggests crafty, DIY energy and a lightly vintage, screen-printed attitude rather than polished editorial refinement.
Likely designed to emulate quick brush lettering or a rough ink impression, prioritizing warmth, immediacy, and surface texture. The goal appears to be a distinctive, characterful display voice that feels human and imperfect while remaining broadly legible.
The distressed edge treatment is consistent across letters and numerals, so the texture reads as an intentional surface effect rather than random noise. Spacing appears moderate and even in text, with enough irregularity in silhouette to add character at larger sizes.
