A compact, hand-drawn print with dense, heavy strokes and visibly uneven edges. Forms are narrow and upright with variable character widths, giving lines a lively, irregular rhythm. Strokes look brush- or marker-made, with slightly frayed terminals, occasional blunt corners, and subtle wobble in verticals and curves. Counters are generally small and sometimes pinched, and the overall silhouette reads as chunky and textured rather than clean or geometric.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, and short punchy copy where a tactile, handmade texture adds personality. It can work effectively on packaging, book covers, and album/playlist art, especially in designs aiming for a raw, crafted feel. Use generous tracking or larger sizes when setting longer phrases to preserve clarity.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade energy that feels informal and spirited. Its rough texture and uneven rhythm suggest DIY craft, zines, or street-poster attitude, balancing friendliness with a slightly edgy, distressed character.
Likely designed to emulate quick, confident hand-lettering made with a broad brush or marker, prioritizing character and texture over typographic precision. The narrow stance and dense stroke weight help it hit hard in display settings while keeping an informal, human cadence.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the textured edges and compact counters can breathe; in longer text the dense color and irregularities become more prominent. Numerals match the same brushy construction and weight, maintaining a consistent, hand-rendered tone across letters and figures.
