A compact, heavy handwritten print with jagged, irregular contours and visibly uneven stroke edges, as if made with a dry brush or worn marker. Letterforms are slightly slanted with bouncy baseline behavior and frequent width variation from glyph to glyph. Counters are often tight and somewhat misshapen, and terminals end in blunt, torn-looking points that create a distressed silhouette. The overall rhythm is energetic rather than uniform, with small irregularities in curves and joins giving each character a carved, organic feel.
Best suited to display use where texture and attitude are the main goal—posters, headlines, event flyers, album covers, game or film titling, and graphic merchandise. It can also work for short bursts of copy such as pull quotes or labels when set with generous tracking and plenty of contrast against the background.
The texture and ragged edges create a raw, gritty tone that reads as intense and expressive. Its uneasy, scratchy personality leans toward dark, rebellious, and chaotic moods, making it feel at home in edgy or eerie contexts rather than polished corporate communication.
The design appears intended to capture an aggressive, hand-drawn marker/brush look with deliberate distress and imperfect repetition. It prioritizes characterful texture and impact over neutrality, aiming for a loud, tactile impression on the page or screen.
The caps are dominant and blocky, while lowercase characters retain a compact, punchy stance with reduced interior space at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same distressed treatment and maintain strong presence, though the roughness can reduce clarity in dense settings.
