A chunky, all-caps-forward display face with heavy, brush-like strokes and visibly irregular edges. Letterforms have a hand-rendered rhythm with uneven stroke boundaries, occasional notches, and small interior voids that read like dry-brush or worn ink coverage. Curves are broad and simplified, terminals are mostly blunt, and counters tend to be tight, producing dense silhouettes that hold together strongly at larger sizes. Spacing appears slightly uneven in a natural, handmade way, contributing to a lively texture in text settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event graphics, album/cover art, packaging callouts, stickers, and merchandise. It also fits branding elements that benefit from a handcrafted, slightly rugged presence, especially when used in large sizes or with generous tracking.
The overall tone is raw and tactile, evoking screen-printed posters, stamped graphics, and DIY signage. Its roughness adds attitude and immediacy, balancing a friendly, comic-like warmth with a gritty, distressed edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-inked impression with built-in wear and texture, creating instant character without additional effects. It prioritizes expressive silhouette and tactile grain over crisp, neutral regularity.
The distressed texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with small variations that help avoid a mechanical feel. Because the interiors can close up in smaller sizes, the design reads best when given room to breathe and sufficient contrast against the background.
