A heavy, hand-drawn print face with chunky, uneven strokes and visibly rough, torn-looking edges. Letterforms are upright with simplified construction and a slightly compressed feel in places, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph. Terminals are blunt and irregular, counters are often small and bumpy, and the baseline rhythm is lively rather than strictly uniform. Overall texture is inked and mottled, reading like dry-brush or stamped paint rather than smooth vector geometry.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, merch graphics, and event or music-related artwork where texture is a feature. The rough edges and dense strokes favor larger sizes and high-contrast settings, while longer paragraphs may feel heavy and visually noisy.
The font conveys a rugged, handmade energy that feels casual and expressive. Its rough texture and irregular silhouettes suggest craft, street-style spontaneity, and a slightly gritty DIY attitude, while still staying approachable and readable at display sizes.
The design appears intended to emulate bold hand-painted or marker-lettered signage, prioritizing tactile texture and personality over typographic regularity. It aims to provide an immediately expressive, craft-like voice for display typography.
Capital forms tend to be squat and emphatic, while lowercase has a smaller presence with simple, single-storey shapes and minimal detailing. Numerals are similarly rough-hewn and characterful, matching the same textured stroke quality for a cohesive set.
