A heavy, hand-drawn sans with rounded terminals and visibly uneven stroke edges, as if made with a dry brush or marker. Letterforms are simple and open, with irregular contours, mild wobble in verticals and bowls, and occasional interior speckling/roughness that reads like ink texture. Capitals are compact and chunky, while lowercase forms keep a friendly, informal construction; overall spacing feels loose and slightly inconsistent in a natural, handmade way.
Best suited for display applications where texture and personality are desirable: posters, packaging, labels, social graphics, and merch. It works well for short headlines, product names, and punchy taglines where the distressed, handmade rhythm can be a feature rather than a distraction.
The font conveys an easygoing, craft-forward personality with a slightly rough, imperfect finish. Its textured strokes and playful proportions suggest DIY energy—more zine and sketchbook than polished corporate—adding warmth and character to short phrases and display lines.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand lettering with an intentionally rough print/ink artifact, prioritizing expressiveness and an organic rhythm over geometric precision. Its simplified shapes and generous counters aim to keep the distressed look readable in punchy, attention-grabbing settings.
Texture is present both on outer edges and within filled areas, creating a worn-print look that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky, hand-rendered logic, with the “0” showing a clear inner counter that maintains readability in display use.
