A condensed, hand-rendered display face with heavy strokes and strongly irregular, distressed contours. Letterforms are upright and compact, with tight counters and a bouncy baseline rhythm created by uneven stroke edges and slightly varied shapes from glyph to glyph. The texture reads like dry-brush ink or worn print—solid black forms with interior speckling and roughened terminals. Proportions are narrow and tall overall, with simplified construction and occasional quirky curves that keep the set informal and energetic.
Well-suited to display applications where texture and attitude are desirable—posters, music or podcast branding, event flyers, apparel graphics, and packaging needing a rugged handmade feel. It also works as a punchy accent type in editorial layouts or social graphics when paired with a cleaner companion for longer reading.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY attitude with a mischievous, punk-adjacent playfulness. Its worn texture and hand-made character feel casual and tactile, leaning toward zine culture, garage flyers, and rough-stamped ephemera rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to mimic a rough brush-ink or degraded print impression in a compact, attention-grabbing silhouette. Its goal is to deliver instant personality—grit, motion, and spontaneity—while staying legible enough for bold headlines and short statements.
At text sizes the distressed interiors and tight counters can visually fill in, so it performs best when given room to breathe and used for short bursts of copy. The condensed width helps pack impact into narrow spaces, while the irregular texture adds visual noise that becomes part of the aesthetic.
