A rounded, heavy sans with a hand-drawn, brush-marker feel. Strokes are thick and uneven, with visible wobble and occasional hollows and streaks inside the fills that mimic dry ink or rough inking. Terminals are soft and bulbous rather than sharp, and counters tend to be small and irregular, giving letters a slightly squashed, bouncy silhouette. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic rhythm and a deliberately imperfect, distressed texture.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing display use such as posters, packaging callouts, stickers, title cards, and social media graphics where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work for playful branding and event materials, especially when set large enough for the interior ink texture to read clearly.
The font reads friendly and mischievous, with an arts-and-crafts spontaneity. Its rough inking artifacts add grit without turning aggressive, keeping the tone light, informal, and energetic.
Likely designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering made with a thick marker or brush pen, preserving inky streaks and small inconsistencies to create a lively distressed look. The goal appears to be approachable display impact with a tactile, handmade surface.
The distressed effect appears as interior scuffs and inconsistent fill density rather than torn outlines, so the silhouette stays strong at a distance while close-up texture provides character. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction and retain the same hand-ink irregularities.
