A heavy, hand-drawn sans with uneven, brush-like strokes and noticeably roughened edges. Letterforms are simple and open, but intentionally irregular: curves wobble slightly, terminals look daubed, and counters show occasional blobby texture that suggests ink spread or rough printing. Proportions vary across characters, creating a lively rhythm and a slightly bouncy baseline impression, while overall shapes remain highly legible at display sizes.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and short statements where texture and personality are desirable. It also works for packaging, labels, stickers, and social graphics that want a handcrafted, distressed feel; for longer text, it performs best at larger sizes where the rough edge detail can breathe.
The font conveys an informal, DIY energy with a gritty, imperfect finish. Its texture feels lively and approachable rather than polished, bringing a playful, slightly rugged attitude that reads as handmade and spontaneous.
Likely designed to emulate imperfect ink or marker lettering with a worn print character, balancing strong readability with intentionally messy texture. The goal appears to be a bold, friendly display voice that feels human-made and slightly weathered.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same casual construction, with single-storey forms where expected and rounded, softened corners throughout. Numerals follow the same painted texture and irregular stroke behavior, keeping a consistent, tactile voice across alphanumerics.
