A heavy, ink-saturated display face with rounded, blobby forms and a strongly irregular edge. Strokes look brush- or marker-made, with visible wobble, uneven terminals, and occasional bite-like nicks that create a rough printed texture. Counters are generally open but sometimes partially clogged, giving letters a dense, stamped feel. The overall rhythm is lively and inconsistent in a purposeful way, with slightly shifting character widths and a casual, hand-drawn baseline presence.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album/mixtape graphics, merchandise, and packaging where a rough handmade voice is desirable. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but extended reading is better reserved for larger sizes and generous spacing to offset the dense texture.
The font reads as rebellious and energetic, with a scruffy handmade attitude that feels informal and expressive. Its rough texture and chunky silhouettes suggest DIY culture, zines, and poster lettering, balancing humor with a slightly gritty edge.
Likely designed to emulate bold brush or marker lettering that has been reproduced imperfectly, capturing the randomness of ink spread, rough pressure changes, and worn print artifacts. The goal appears to be an attention-grabbing display style that feels human, spontaneous, and intentionally unpolished.
In longer lines, the texture accumulates into a dark, noisy color, so spacing and size become important for maintaining clarity. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same inky, distressed construction, keeping a cohesive tone across mixed text.
