A condensed, heavy display face with irregular, hand-rendered contours. Strokes look brush- or marker-drawn, with ragged edges, chiseled corners, and slightly uneven terminals that create a cut-out/ink-stamped texture. Curves are simplified and somewhat angular, counters are tight, and spacing feels lively rather than mechanically consistent, producing an intentionally rough rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, event flyers, and themed titles where texture and attitude are desirable. It can also work for logos or packaging accents when used at larger sizes, while extended body text may feel visually busy due to the distressed edges and tight interior space.
The font projects a mischievous, offbeat tone—part punk flyer, part Halloween signage. Its distressed, handmade texture reads energetic and a little unruly, suggesting humor, grit, and a deliberately imperfect DIY attitude.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful display voice through deliberate irregularity—using rough, brushy outlines and condensed proportions to feel handmade and attention-grabbing. The consistent distressing across glyphs suggests it was drawn to evoke a DIY, edgy mood rather than typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms tend to be tall and narrow with sharp joins, while lowercase keeps the same rugged stroke character and compact counters. Numerals follow the same carved, irregular silhouette, helping maintain a consistent “inked” voice across letters and figures.
