A heavy, hand-drawn display face with tall proportions and tight overall letterfit. Strokes look brush- or marker-made, with rough, chipped edges, occasional tapering, and small internal voids that create a distressed texture. The structure is mostly straightforward and upright, but with irregular widths, uneven terminals, and varied stroke joins that keep the rhythm lively and slightly chaotic. Counters are generally compact and the lowercase is simple and sturdy, prioritizing impact over refinement.
Best suited for short display settings where texture and forceful presence are assets: posters, titles, packaging, band/album artwork, event flyers, and branding that wants a raw handmade feel. It can also work for labels and social graphics when set with generous tracking and ample size to keep forms clear.
The font conveys a gritty, energetic tone—like quick signage, zines, or DIY packaging—mixing playful informality with a slightly menacing edge. Its texture and unevenness suggest urgency and attitude rather than polish.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-painted or marker lettering with intentional wear and irregularity, delivering maximum impact and a DIY aesthetic. It emphasizes character and texture over smooth consistency, making it ideal for expressive display typography.
In longer phrases the dark color and texture create a strong, poster-like presence, while the rough outlines add visual noise that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes. The numeral set matches the same chunky, distressed construction, supporting cohesive headline and labeling use.
