A heavy, rounded sans with a hand-rendered, inked look and intentionally rough edges. Strokes are thick and bulbous with soft corners, while counters show speckling and occasional pinched openings that suggest worn printing or a dry-marker texture. Letterforms keep a simple, blocky construction, but the outlines wobble and vary slightly from glyph to glyph, creating an organic rhythm. The numerals follow the same chunky build, with irregular interior shapes and a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, merchandise graphics, and packaging where the distressed texture can be a feature. It also works well for themed titles, event promos, and bold pull-quotes that benefit from a rough, handmade feel.
The texture and imperfect contours give the face a lively, down-to-earth tone that feels homemade and slightly rebellious. Its bold presence reads friendly rather than formal, with a gritty charm that evokes stamped packaging, DIY signage, and playful roughness.
This font appears designed to combine a friendly, chunky sans structure with deliberate wear and ink artifacts, producing an assertive display face that looks printed, stamped, or marker-drawn rather than digitally pristine.
In the sample text, the dense weight and mottled interiors create strong color on the line; spacing and shapes remain readable at display sizes, while the distressed details become more prominent as the size increases. The uppercase and lowercase share the same simplified, rounded construction, reinforcing a consistent, casual voice.
