A very heavy, inked handwritten print with blobby, irregular outlines and a visibly textured edge, as if made with a saturated marker or brush on rough paper. Strokes are thick and uneven, with soft corners, occasional notches, and inconsistent terminals that create a rugged rhythm across words. Counters are small and sometimes partially closed, and the overall silhouette of each letter is slightly distorted, prioritizing expressive shape over geometric regularity. Spacing reads as loosely hand-set, with natural variation in sidebearings and letter widths that reinforces the drawn, non-mechanical feel.
Best suited to display use such as posters, event flyers, album/mixtape artwork, game titles, and bold social graphics where texture and attitude are an asset. It can also work for packaging or signage that aims for a handmade, gritty look, but is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text due to its heavy texture and tight interior spaces.
The font conveys a gritty, mischievous energy—part playful doodle, part rough-cut stencil—making it feel bold, loud, and a little chaotic. Its distressed, inky texture suggests a raw DIY attitude that can lean spooky or comic depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic thick, hand-painted or marker-drawn lettering with deliberately imperfect contours, emphasizing personality and impact over typographic neutrality. Its consistent bold weight and intentionally rough finish suggest a goal of immediate, attention-grabbing display typography with a DIY, distressed character.
At text sizes the rough edges and tight counters become a dominant feature, so readability is strongest in short lines, headlines, and punchy phrases. The bold mass and uneven texture create strong color on the page, especially in high-contrast black-on-white settings.
