A rough, hand-drawn sans with monoline-like strokes that swell and break irregularly, creating ragged edges and occasional ink-blot interiors. Letterforms are largely upright with simple, open constructions, but widths and curves vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the set an intentionally uneven rhythm. Counters are sometimes partially filled or scarred, and terminals look torn or brushed, as if printed from a worn stencil or marker on absorbent paper. Spacing appears moderate, while the texture and wobble dominate the silhouette more than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited for display settings where texture is a feature: posters, event flyers, album artwork, title cards, and packaging that benefits from a rough printed or hand-marked feel. It can work for short bursts of copy in larger sizes, but the distressed detailing suggests avoiding long body text or very small point sizes.
The overall tone is gritty and rebellious, with a DIY, zine-like attitude. Its distressed texture adds urgency and a slightly chaotic energy that can feel both edgy and playful depending on context.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, distressed handwritten look that evokes worn print, brush/marker texture, and DIY production. The goal appears to prioritize atmosphere and impact over strict uniformity, making the type feel human, imperfect, and aggressively tactile.
In running text, the heavy texturing and inconsistent stroke edges become the primary visual feature, increasing character but reducing clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same rough, inked treatment and sit comfortably alongside the letters for headline-style use.
