A compact, condensed hand-drawn display face with heavy strokes and visibly rough, uneven edges. The letterforms are largely upright and built from simple, print-like structures, but the contours wobble and the counters vary, creating an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Stroke endings look blunted and slightly frayed, with occasional pinched joins and inconsistent inking that reads like a marker or brush pressed into absorbent paper. Spacing and widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade, distressed texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, headlines, event flyers, album/playlist artwork, and bold packaging or label designs. It can also work for branding in rustic, artisanal, or horror/Halloween-adjacent themes, especially when used at larger sizes where the distressed details remain legible.
The overall tone is gritty and crafty—part DIY poster, part worn stamp. Its irregular inking and narrow stance give it an energetic, slightly unruly character that can feel vintage, spooky, or street-level depending on context. The texture adds immediacy and attitude, suggesting something printed, weathered, or hand-made rather than polished and corporate.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-printed look with deliberate wear: narrow, punchy shapes combined with rough, ink-drag texture. Rather than aiming for smooth consistency, it emphasizes tactile imperfections to create a bold, attention-grabbing display voice with a DIY, analog feel.
In the sample text, the dense vertical rhythm and textured stroke edges become a dominant visual feature, making the font feel best when the roughness is allowed to show. The lowercase includes simple, single-storey forms and narrow, tall silhouettes, while punctuation and numerals keep the same rugged, inked treatment for a consistent voice.
