A chunky, rounded display face with an intentionally rough, hand-rendered silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with soft corners and irregular, wobbly edges that mimic a marker or brush pressed on textured paper. Counters are small and uneven, and proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating a loose rhythm and slightly inconsistent widths. The overall color is dense and heavy, while the jittery outlines keep it from feeling rigid or geometric.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, album/track art, packaging callouts, stickers, social graphics, and comic-style titling where texture is part of the message. It can also work for playful brand marks and event promotions, especially when set at medium-to-large sizes so the rough outline character reads clearly.
The texture and unevenness give it a scrappy, DIY personality that reads as playful and slightly chaotic. It feels friendly rather than aggressive, like hand-painted signage or a comic, with a worn-in, imperfect energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a deliberately imperfect, worn outline—capturing the look of quick hand lettering or rough print transfer while staying readable and cohesive across a full alphabet and numerals.
Capitals and lowercase share the same informal, rounded construction, with simplified forms and occasional asymmetry that reinforces the handmade look. Numerals follow the same thick, blobby logic and remain legible at larger sizes, while the distressed edges become a defining feature.
