A rough, hand-rendered display face with uneven, inked strokes and visibly distressed edges. Letterforms are largely monolinear but show subtle swelling and tapering, as if made with a blunt marker or brush under imperfect printing. Counters are somewhat irregular and occasionally pinched, and terminals look torn or feathered rather than cleanly cut. Proportions are compact with slightly variable character widths and a lively baseline rhythm that keeps repeated shapes from feeling mechanical.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, merch graphics, album covers, labels, and bold social or editorial headers. It can work for brief paragraphs when set large with comfortable leading, but it will read most clearly as a headline or callout style.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, with an energetic, slightly mischievous character. Its worn texture suggests DIY craft, zines, or stamped/printed ephemera, giving text a casual authenticity rather than polish. The irregularities add warmth and personality, leaning more expressive than formal.
Likely designed to evoke imperfect ink on paper—handmade signage or rough printmaking—by combining sturdy silhouettes with deliberate edge wear and uneven stroke behavior. The goal appears to be high-impact legibility with a distinctive distressed surface that adds instant mood.
Uppercase forms are bold and simplified with a poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps a friendly, informal flow. Numerals carry the same distressed texture and rounded massing, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel consistent. In longer text, the texture becomes a prominent stylistic layer, so spacing and line breaks benefit from generous breathing room.
