A rough, hand-rendered sans with uneven contours and visibly ragged edges that suggest dry brush or worn stamping. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness with low contrast, while terminals are blunt and slightly swollen in places, creating a blotty texture. Forms are compact and a bit narrow, with rounded bowls and simplified joins; overall spacing feels lively due to irregular sidebearings and small baseline/shape variations across glyphs. Numerals and capitals maintain the same distressed treatment, preserving a cohesive, intentionally imperfect rhythm in text.
Well-suited to posters, album/cover art, packaging, and branding that benefits from a handmade or worn-ink look. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, labels, and short bursts of text where texture and character are part of the message.
The font conveys an informal, tactile tone—more handcrafted than engineered—mixing friendly simplicity with a gritty, weathered edge. It feels casual and expressive, with a subtle DIY or analog-print attitude that adds personality without becoming chaotic.
Likely designed to mimic imperfect analog lettering—such as brush-painted marks or aged print—while retaining straightforward, readable letterforms. The goal appears to be adding grit and human warmth to otherwise simple, compact shapes.
In longer lines the irregular edges create a steady speckled texture, so the face reads best when some grit is desirable rather than pristine clarity. The distressed outline treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting cohesive display and short-copy use.
