A heavy, hand-drawn alphabet with compact proportions and irregular, brush-like contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but show natural wobble, soft corners, and occasional blobby terminals that create a worn, inked texture. Letterforms are simple and sturdy, with slightly uneven widths and spacing that reinforce an informal, handmade rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where texture is an asset: posters, album covers, zines, streetwear graphics, event promos, and playful packaging. It can also work for comic-style captions and display headings, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting copy.
The font conveys a scrappy, DIY energy—casual, slightly rebellious, and intentionally imperfect. Its rough edges and chunky presence give it a tactile, analog feel that reads as playful grunge rather than refined handwriting.
The design appears intended to mimic bold marker or brush lettering captured with rough printing or worn edges, prioritizing character and texture over precision. It aims to deliver an immediate, attention-grabbing voice with an analog, handcrafted feel.
Round counters (like in O, e, o) appear slightly lopsided, and verticals often lean into subtle waviness, enhancing a printed-by-hand impression. Numerals match the same thick, irregular treatment and maintain a consistent, poster-friendly weight across the set.
