A lively, hand-drawn display face with thick strokes, uneven contours, and intentionally ragged edges. Letterforms show wobbly curves, irregular terminals, and slightly inconsistent proportions that create a jittery rhythm across words. Counters are often lumpy and partially filled with ink-like shapes, producing a stamped/printed texture rather than a clean outline. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a spontaneous, marker-and-press look.
Best suited to short-form display settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, album/cover art, event promotions, product labels, and bold social graphics. It can work for subheads or pull quotes when set with generous spacing, but the distressed interiors make it less appropriate for long passages or small sizes.
The font conveys a mischievous, scrappy energy—more zine and doodle than formal typography. Its rough texture and quirky silhouettes suggest humor, DIY craft, and a slightly chaotic tone that reads as expressive and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to emulate rough, imperfect lettering produced by quick hand rendering or worn printing, prioritizing character and texture over precision. Its variable shapes and inky counters aim to create a distinctive, handmade voice that stands out immediately in a layout.
Rounded forms (like O/C/G) appear particularly blobby with uneven inner shapes, while straight-stem letters (I/L/T) keep a simple backbone but still retain frayed edges. Numerals follow the same inky, irregular construction, maintaining consistency across the set.
