A chunky, rounded sans with visibly rough, dry-brush edges and occasional ink-break texture that gives each stroke a worn, printed feel. Letterforms are built from simple, sturdy shapes with soft corners and slightly flattened terminals, and the stroke weight stays broadly consistent while edge distortion adds visual movement. Proportions are compact with steady cap height and a readable x-height, while spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short-form display typography where the texture can be appreciated: posters, packaging, menus, merch, and event flyers. It also works well for punchy headlines and subheads paired with a cleaner body typeface, especially in designs aiming for an analog, handcrafted look.
The overall tone feels informal and friendly, with a crafty, DIY energy and a lightly gritty, vintage-influenced texture. It reads as approachable rather than refined, suggesting human touch, analog materials, and imperfect repetition.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect ink application—like brush, marker, or rough print—while retaining simple, bold silhouettes for clarity. Its controlled irregularities aim to add character and authenticity without sacrificing readability.
Counters remain open and generally generous despite the heavy strokes, supporting legibility at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same roughened silhouette and sturdy stance, keeping the texture consistent across sets.
