A slanted, brush-like display face with thick, rounded strokes and visibly uneven contours. The letterforms show rough, inked edges and slight fill irregularities that mimic dry-brush or worn printing. Counters are generally open and rounded, terminals are blunt, and curves wobble subtly, creating an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
This font suits short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and brand marks where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work for packaging and merchandise graphics that benefit from a hand-made, slightly worn aesthetic, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed edges remain clear.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, combining a friendly, cartoon-leaning softness with a gritty, weathered surface. It feels expressive and human, with a lived-in texture that suggests motion and spontaneity rather than precision.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic, hand-painted look with deliberate roughness, capturing the feel of brush lettering or imperfect print reproduction. Its varied widths and textured outlines prioritize character and energy over strict regularity.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy and poster-like, while the lowercase maintains the same brushy texture and slant for continuity in longer lines. Numerals share the same rounded, roughened construction, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text.
