A heavy, hand-drawn display face with irregular, brushy strokes and visibly ragged contours. Forms are mostly upright with simple, rounded construction, but the outlines wobble and swell, creating an uneven rhythm from glyph to glyph. Counters are often small and sometimes partially clogged by ink-like blobs, while terminals appear blunt and frayed rather than crisp. Overall spacing feels lively and slightly inconsistent, reinforcing a rough, printed-from-a-marker look.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event promos, cover art, and bold branding moments where texture is part of the message. It can also work for playful packaging or sticker-style graphics, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting copy.
The font reads as loud, scrappy, and informal, with a DIY energy that suggests zines, gig flyers, and hand-lettered signage. Its rough edges and chunky shapes create a slightly rebellious, comedic tone—more playful than menacing, but still gritty and attention-seeking.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence with a hand-inked, distressed texture that feels authentic and imperfect. The intent appears to be a characterful display voice that communicates immediacy and attitude rather than typographic refinement.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive hand-rendered texture, with lowercase showing simple, single-storey shapes and compact bowls. Numerals and punctuation carry the same uneven fill and distressed edge behavior, helping the set feel consistent in mixed text settings.
