A heavy, hand-rendered print style with thick strokes and visibly uneven edges, as if drawn quickly with a blunt marker or dry brush. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified, blocky construction and a mix of rounded and angular joins; counters are often small and slightly pinched. Stroke endings look torn or dabbed rather than cleanly cut, and curves wobble subtly, creating an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, with compact lowercase and larger, emphatic capitals and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, covers, packaging, stickers, and brand marks needing an unpolished handmade feel. It can work for short bursts of copy (captions, callouts) when set at generous sizes and with comfortable line spacing to preserve the interior openings.
The overall tone feels raw and immediate, like handwritten signage or a rough title card. Its irregular texture and chunky weight give it a gritty, energetic presence that reads as informal, bold, and a bit mischievous.
The design appears intended to capture an authentic, quickly lettered look with strong ink coverage and tactile edges, prioritizing character and impact over strict uniformity. It aims to feel human and expressive while remaining legible in bold, attention-grabbing applications.
The texture is consistent across the set, with strong black mass and occasional narrow openings that can fill in at smaller sizes. The sample text shows a lively baseline and word shapes that stay readable while retaining a deliberately rough, hand-drawn character.
