A compact, hand-rendered display face with thick strokes and lively irregular contours. Letterforms show brush-like expansion and contraction, with visibly rough edges, occasional interior scuffing, and slightly inconsistent stroke terminals that mimic dry-ink or worn printing. Counters are generally open but often uneven, and curves have a subtly wobbly, hand-cut rhythm. Proportions lean condensed with tight horizontal footprints, while widths vary per character, creating an animated, improvised texture across words and lines.
Best suited to short-form display typography where character and texture are assets—posters, headlines, social graphics, album/merch artwork, packaging accents, and event flyers. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or section headers, but is less appropriate for long passages where the distressed edges may reduce reading comfort at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is scrappy and energetic, blending a mischievous, DIY attitude with a slightly gritty edge. Its distressed texture reads as informal and expressive rather than refined, giving text a zine-like, street-poster personality that feels human and unpolished.
The design appears intended to capture a bold, brush-drawn look with deliberate wear and irregularity, prioritizing personality and tactile presence over precision. It’s built to deliver a handmade, rough-printed aesthetic that feels immediate and expressive in attention-grabbing applications.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “printed-by-hand” look. The texture can visually thicken in dense settings, so generous tracking and larger sizes help preserve the interior details and counter shapes.
