A rough, hand-drawn all-caps and lowercase with thick strokes and deliberately irregular outlines. Letterforms show jittery contours, uneven terminals, and frequent interior streaks and notches that mimic dry-brush or marker texture. Curves are slightly lumpy, straight stems wobble, and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing an intentionally unstable rhythm. Counters remain generally open, but the distressed texture and variable stroke edges add visual noise that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes.
This font is best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are an advantage—posters, event flyers, album or playlist artwork, bold pull quotes, and expressive packaging. It can work for short bursts of copy in branding and social graphics, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for readability.
The overall tone is energetic and gritty, with a DIY, zine-like attitude. Its imperfect, ink-scraped texture reads as informal and rebellious rather than polished, giving copy a lively, street-level personality.
The design intention appears to be a bold display face that captures the look of hurried, inked lettering with worn print artifacts. Its inconsistent contours and scratchy fill create a tactile, analog impression meant to stand out and feel human rather than mechanized.
Uppercase characters are broad and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains the same rough construction with tall, narrow stems in letters like i, l, and t. Numerals follow the same sketchy treatment, with visibly uneven bowls and angled joints that reinforce the handmade feel.
