A heavy, brush-like display face with irregular outlines, ragged terminals, and visible texture inside the strokes. Letterforms are mostly upright with a lively, hand-drawn wobble, and proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal rhythm. Counters are often partially filled or roughened, producing a mottled, stamped-ink feel, while the overall silhouette stays chunky and legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album covers, event promotions, and bold packaging callouts where texture can read clearly. It can also work for logos or badges when a handmade, gritty impression is desired, but it is less appropriate for long body text.
The font conveys a scrappy, energetic tone—more DIY than polished—suggesting spontaneity, grit, and a playful edge. Its roughened forms feel expressive and human, like quick marker or dry-brush lettering used for attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-painted or marker lettering with a deliberately worn print effect, combining chunky shapes with rough, imperfect edges to create an expressive, attention-getting display style.
Stroke edges show uneven pressure and fraying, and several glyphs exhibit intentionally imperfect geometry (slightly lopsided bowls, inconsistent joins, and varying stroke widths). The distressed texture is prominent enough that small sizes may lose clarity, especially in tighter counters.
