A hand-drawn roman with visibly rough, dry-brush strokes and irregular outlines. Stems and curves show broken edges, slight wobble, and occasional ink build-up, creating a textured silhouette while maintaining clear letter shapes. Proportions are mixed and slightly inconsistent by design, with rounded bowls (C, O, e) sitting alongside sharper, more angular constructions (A, M, N, W). Counters stay fairly open, but stroke terminals are ragged and varied, producing a lively rhythm across words and lines.
Works best for short display text where the rough texture can be appreciated—posters, album/cover art, event titles, labels, and packaging with a handmade or vintage-craft direction. It can also support zines and editorial callouts where an intentionally imperfect, tactile voice is desired.
The overall tone feels handmade and tactile, like lettering made with a worn marker or brush on paper. Its distressed texture and informal construction suggest a casual, crafty energy with a hint of grunge, suited to expressive rather than polished communication.
Likely designed to mimic quick, hand-rendered lettering with a distressed ink texture, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, organic finish. The goal appears to be character and immediacy—capturing the feel of analog tools and worn printing rather than precise geometry.
Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, which enhances the improvised look but can create a choppy texture in longer passages. Numerals share the same scratchy, imperfect finish, helping headlines and display settings feel cohesive across letters and numbers.
