A lively hand-drawn print with angular, faceted letterforms and a noticeably irregular baseline. Strokes show medium contrast with occasional tapering and blunt, brushy terminals, giving the shapes a sketched, dry-marker feel. Counters are often triangular or diamond-like, and several glyphs use sharp joins and simplified geometry rather than smooth curves. Spacing and widths vary from character to character, reinforcing the informal rhythm while keeping the overall texture compact and readable at display sizes.
Best suited to short text where personality matters: posters, covers, packaging callouts, video/game titles, and editorial display in zines or youth-focused pieces. It can work for subheads or brief captions when set with generous leading, but the rough stroke and variable spacing make it less ideal for dense body copy.
The font conveys an impulsive, streetwise energy—part graffiti tag, part scratchy comic lettering. Its sharp angles and jittery motion feel mischievous and bold rather than polished, creating a sense of urgency and attitude.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand lettering with a deliberately rough, angular construction—prioritizing character and motion over typographic refinement. Its consistent jagged vocabulary suggests a purposeful aesthetic aimed at expressive, attention-grabbing display use.
Distinctive diamond-shaped bowls and angular substitutions (notably in several rounded letters and some numerals) give the alphabet a cohesive, symbol-like flavor. Dots on i/j are small and separated, and the numerals match the same jagged construction, keeping a consistent voice across letters and figures.
