A rough-edged, hand-drawn display face with chunky, angular letterforms and visibly irregular stroke boundaries. Shapes lean toward faceted, chiseled silhouettes with sharp corners, wedge-like terminals, and uneven counters, creating a carved/brush-cut impression. Proportions vary notably from glyph to glyph, with inconsistent widths and a slightly jittery baseline rhythm that reinforces an intentionally imperfect, handmade construction. Numerals and lowercase follow the same jagged geometry, keeping the texture consistent across the set.
Best suited to short text in posters, titles, packaging callouts, or branding accents where the rough texture can be appreciated. It also fits entertainment contexts such as game UI headings, event flyers, and album/track artwork, especially when a gritty handmade voice is desired.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a mischievous, slightly menacing edge. Its torn, cut-paper/stone-carved texture reads as rebellious and handcrafted rather than polished, giving headlines a lively, punky presence.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, forceful lettering made with a blunt marker, brush, or knife-cut stencil—prioritizing attitude and texture over smooth consistency. Its angular construction and deliberate irregularities aim to add a raw, tactile feel to display typography.
The texture is strongest at joins and terminals, where corners appear chipped or feathered. Apertures tend to be tight and angular, and many letters favor diamond-like or triangular counters that amplify the hard-edged character.
